FWSC invites striking teacher unions for talks over expired conditions of service

The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has extended an invitation to the leadership of the striking teacher unions for negotiations over their expired conditions of service. The talks, set to take place on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, will involve representatives from the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG).

Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu announced this on Friday, October 2, following discussions with the three unions regarding the issues fueling their nationwide industrial action. The Minister expressed confidence that the negotiations would conclude within a week, mirroring the approach taken with other labor groups in the country.

The teacher unions' strike, which began on September 25, 2026, centers on several outstanding issues, including the resolution of promotion arrears, the 20 per cent deprived-area allowance, and the renewal of their expired conditions of service.
