Teachers in Sekondi -Takoradi join in nationwide strike
Some school Children within Diabene, Nkroful, Apowa and its environs were disappointed to be greeted by locked doors on Monday morning.
On Monday morning, school children in Diabene, Nkroful, Apowa and surrounding areas were met with locked doors upon arriving at school. Despite the absence of news about the ongoing strike, these students found themselves tired and stranded at Diabene Catholic school and Nkroful Methodist school. The strike was initiated by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and Pre-Tertiary Teachers’ Association of Ghana (PRETAG).
These unions are taking action due to delays in promoting teachers and assigning them to their proper salary scales.
At Apowa St. John’s Methodist Basic School, pupils had arrived as early as 0735 hours, only to discover locked classrooms with no teachers on duty. A similar predicament was observed at Ankyernyin Basic School. Parents, when reached by the Ghana News Agency (GNA), expressed their hope that teachers would return to their roles to keep the children engaged and active.
