The Council of State held a productive meeting with striking teacher unions to end nationwide industrial action that left public school classrooms empty. Former Speaker of Parliament Edward Doe Adjaho indicated optimism that a breakthrough may be imminent. He expressed concern over the impact of the strike on students and educators, emphasizing that classrooms were empty but the discussion was highly fruitful.
Union representatives presented their grievances to the Council, which they systematically addressed. After the Council's intervention, the unions engaged in further negotiations with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC). Adjaho confirmed that the teachers promised to resume talks with state mediators after concluding their session with the commission.
He assured that the Council's involvement has brought them closer to a resolution, noting the union's commitment to returning promptly after their follow-up meeting with the FWSC. The Council's intervention is seen as a critical step to resolve the impasse between the government and pre-tertiary teacher unions, with high expectations for an agreement to reopen classrooms nationwide.
