GES Urges Teachers to End Strike Amid Government Engagement
Ghana Education Service reaches out to teacher unions urging a truce on the ongoing strike while authorities work on resolving the issues.
The Ghana Education Service has formally appealed to all pre‑tertiary teacher unions to suspend their current industrial action. In a statement released to the media, the Service said it recognises the legitimate grievances of the teachers and is actively engaging the relevant government bodies to address their outstanding concerns. While the exact demands of the unions have not been disclosed publicly, the appeal underscores a willingness to negotiate rather than allow the dispute to continue disrupting classroom activities across the country.
Teacher unions have already taken to the streets in several regions, demanding better working conditions, prompt payment of allowances, and improved safety measures within schools. Their protests have been ongoing for weeks, drawing reactions from parents, students, and education stakeholders who are eager for a swift resolution so learning can resume normally.
The Education Service emphasised that it is committed to using all available channels to mediate between the government and the unions. It called on all parties to exercise restraint and to work jointly towards a lasting solution that safeguards both the welfare of teachers and the uninterrupted delivery of education to Ghanaian children.
