The Ministry of Education has applauded teacher organisations for calling off their strike. The Ministry of Education has commended the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG) for suspending their nationwide strike after fruitful discussions with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and the Government.
“The ministry remains committed to working collaboratively with the unions, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and other relevant stakeholders to address outstanding issues and promote teachers’ welfare while ensuring stability and continuity in the delivery of quality education.
“The Ministry appreciates the patience and resilience of teachers, parents, learners, and all stakeholders affected by the industrial action. We urge all parties to sustain the spirit of cooperation and good faith to ensure that the gains made through negotiations are consolidated,” it said.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to promoting industrial peace and creating a conducive environment in which educators are appreciated, encouraged, and empowered to make a significant contribution to Ghana’s educational transformation programme.
