The Universal Friendship Organisation (UFO), a civil society group, has urged the government to take immediate action on issues impacting pre-tertiary teachers. The organization highlighted the importance of teachers' welfare in enhancing the quality of education. This plea came as Ghana participated in World Teachers' Day celebrations.
UFO pointed out concerns over service conditions, career progression, placement, unpaid arrears, a proposed 20% allowance for deprived areas, and a new collective agreement. These matters, according to the statement released in Accra, were hindering teachers' performance and needed swift resolution. The UFO emphasized that teachers' welfare should be viewed as an essential component of the education system, rather than merely a labor issue.
