Northern Region pupils left unsupervised as teacher unions begin strike
Pupils in many schools across the Northern Region have been left without supervision after three teacher unions declared a nationwide strike.
MyJoyOnline Ghana reports that pupils in several schools across Ghana's Northern Region are currently unsupervised due to a nationwide strike initiated by three prominent teacher unions. The strike, led by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT), has resulted in classrooms being left empty as teachers have walked out in protest.
On the ground, a visit on Monday, September 28, revealed that school compounds have transformed into playgrounds, with many pupils observed playing without any adult supervision. Some of these pupils were found loitering around the premises, while others engaged in activities such as football during what should have been instructional hours.
In a few instances, prefects have attempted to maintain order, but the situation remains concerning as the absence of teachers has left the educational process significantly disrupted.
