The teacher unions in their state of displeasure due to the failure of the government to grant them a 20% cost of living allowance which is a breed of the current high level of inflation and increase of goods and services among others declared a strike to withdraw their services from their fields.

National Labour Commission after the release of the teacher unions’ press has directed Ghana Education Service and the Ministry Of Education to engage the disheartened teacher unions immediately.

NLC further demanded from the parties involved to negotiate settlements on the grievances within seven days and furnish the commission with a report upon completion.

“With this intervention, we urge the Teacher Unions to rescind the decision and discontinue the strike action to pave way for the process of engagement to ensue,” the NLC said.
