The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has urged the government to take immediate action to resolve the issues causing the ongoing teacher strike, warning that Ghana's education system cannot endure any further disruptions. Isaac Nii Baah, GNAT's Head of Salaries, spoke to Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem, emphasizing the vital role teachers play in national development and the importance of addressing their concerns promptly.
He highlighted the strike's impact on both teachers and pupils, as students remain at home while the dispute persists. Baah appealed to anyone with advice to convey it to the government to facilitate a resolution. The nationwide strike, initiated by the GNAT, National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana (PRETAG), began on September 25, 2026, due to frustrations over the handling of teachers' conditions of service by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and the Controller and Accountant-General's Department (CAGD).
