Over 2,000 teachers in Dormaa, Ghana, have refused to return to their respective schools as part of an industrial action by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), according to Justice Acquah, the District Secretary. All 25 basic schools in the Dormaa-Ahenkro area have remained closed, with head teachers also on duty.
The teachers are complying with the GNAT's directive to stay at home while the association negotiates for better conditions of service. Acquah has requested the government to address the teachers' concerns, specifically by paying the due promotion arrears, to call off the strike. He emphasized that the association did not declare the strike if the government had resolved the issues earlier.
During his rounds, Acquah visited various schools, including Roman Catholic Primary ‘A’ and ‘B’, Seventh Day Adventists (SDA) basic school, Dormaa Senior High School, Saint Dominic Roman Catholic, and Presbyterian schools. He urged the public to exercise restraint as the negotiations progress, promising that the teachers would eventually return to the classroom.
