Four major teacher unions in Ghana, including NAGRAT, GNAT, the Coalition of Concerned Teachers of Ghana, and TEWU, have united to push for a comprehensive review of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy and a boost in funding for basic education.
In a meeting with the NDC led by former President John Mahama, the unions highlighted concerns about teacher pay, the curriculum, and the challenges arising from the Free SHS initiative.
They stressed the urgency of improving teaching quality, school infrastructure, and the overall welfare of educators and students.
The unions specifically called for greater investment in basic schools and comprehensive improvements, particularly in the Free SHS program, which they argued requires a thorough review to address existing shortcomings.
Additionally, they voiced scepticism towards political promises, citing past letdowns in fulfilling commitments.
