Three teacher unions declare nationwide strike

Three teacher unions have declared a nationwide strike effective Wednesday, March 20, 2024.

The unions are the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT).

This action stems from what they describe as the government’s negligence in addressing their conditions of service.

Key grievances highlighted include the ongoing withholding of teachers’ salaries, unilateral changes to timetables without consulting the unions, and delays in the distribution of laptops to teachers.

Addressing the media, the National President of GNAT, Isaac Owusu said all teachers should heed to the directive.
