KGL U17 Colts 2026: Greater Accra win title after penalties win over Western Region
In a tense and closely contested encounter, neither side could find the breakthrough during regulation time, forcing the final to be decided from the penalty spot. Greater Accra held their nerve in the shootout to secure their maiden title and bring an eight-day championship to a memorable conclusion.
Public pre-tertiary school teachers in Ghana's Greater Accra Region have returned to work after suspending a two-week nationwide strike over outstanding allowances and promotion arrears. A recent visit by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) to selected schools in the region on Monday revealed teachers supervising pupils, conducting assemblies, and teaching in classrooms.
Teachers expressed satisfaction with the resumption of classes and expressed hope that the Government would expedite the payment of their outstanding entitlements. The strike was declared on September 25, 2026, by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers.
The unions suspended the action on Friday, October 9, following engagements with the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment, the Council of State, and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC). The unions returned to work on Monday, October 12, while engagements on their outstanding grievances continued.
