The University of Ghana's academic calendar for the 2026/2027 academic year may be severely disrupted if the ongoing strike by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) continues into the coming week, warned Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Gordon Awandare. Key university systems, managed by GAUA members involved in the industrial action, are currently non-operational.
As the strike persists, Awandare expressed concern over the mounting disruption to the university's normal functioning. He urged the government to resolve the impasse promptly to prevent further academic calendar disruption. The warning comes after the University suspended first-semester registration for the 2026/2027 academic year due to the strike, with management apologizing for online registration difficulties.
GAUA has been on strike for over two months, demanding better allowances and conditions of service. With key systems affected and registration suspended, the university's capacity to maintain the existing academic calendar is increasingly contingent on the strike's resolution.
