Teacher unions strike: Gov’t presents fresh proposals as talks end inconclusively
A meeting between the government and the leadership of the striking teacher unions over the ongoing nationwide strike ended inconclusively on Friday, October 2, with new proposals expected to be considered by the unions on Tuesday, October 6.
The government presented fresh proposals during a meeting with striking teacher unions, including the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG), on Friday, October 2. The discussions covered three main issues: the automatic placement of promoted teachers, negotiations on a new collective agreement, and the implementation of the 20 per cent deprived-area allowance.
However, the talks ended inconclusively, with the unions agreeing to review the proposals before resuming talks next week. The ongoing strike, which centers around concerns about teachers' promotions, conditions of service, and the deprived-area allowance, has seen the three unions continue their nationwide action until their demands are met.
