The Ghana Education Service (GES) has instructed junior and senior high school headteachers to continue school operations despite the ongoing strike by three teacher unions.
The strike, initiated on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT), is due to the government’s alleged failure to address their conditions of service.
Headteachers have been directed to ensure the safety of students during their time at school.
GES issued a press release on Wednesday, March 20, reassuring parents to remain calm, stating that management is actively monitoring the situation.
“Regional and District Directors have further been directed to ensure that Heads keep schools open and closely supervise all children who report to school pending further directives from Management of GES.”
