  "summary": "The Education Ministry in Ghana has called for more structured engagement with pre-tertiary teacher unions to resolve the ongoing impasse and facilitate the return of teachers to the classroom. Education Ministry Press Secretary Hashmin Mohammed emphasized the importance of data-driven discussions, particularly in addressing issues such as rural and deprived-area allowances, which require detailed examination of data before decisions can be made. The Ministry has initiated negotiations with the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG) to ensure a clear understanding of the issues at stake and prevent inaccuracies in payment and beneficiary records.",
