COLA Strike: Pupils climb trees, mess around without educators
The instructor associations' strike activity at the pre-tertiary level is gnawing hard.
Students at Accra Central Aayalolo Cluster of Schools appreciate unaided recess. They show up in class, drop their sacks, and run down the school field to play.
Sweat trickled down their countenances as they paced all over the field, kicking a football as though it were the World Cup. A few understudies who were not taking part in football match-ups got trees and climbed them. Others play games, while understudies in lower grades sing.

Be that as it may, in the midst of the entirety of the energy and coordinated disorder, a portion of the understudies are concerned and restless. They are booked to take the Basic Education Certificate Examinations (B.E.C.E.) in October. They have expressed that assuming the strike proceeds and they bomb their tests, they will fault the public authority.
"On seventeenth October we will compose our B.E.C.E. Assuming us all bomb there is nobody to fault except for the President. Since he is the person who is dealing with our educator and other school supplies." This is a statement from a JHS 3 understudy Ibrahim Mohammed of Ashia Mills Basic School situated at the Aayalolo Cluster of Schools in Accra.
In spite of the fact that his educators are protesting, Ibrahim trusts that some of them will astound them by making an appearance to instruct.

The 4 instructor associations picketed on Monday, requesting a 20% Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) as a result of high expansion, high fuel expenses, and excessive costs for labor and products have dissolved their compensations.
The understudies believe the President should yield to the educator's requests with the goal that they return to the homerooms to instruct.
"Non-public school educators are not protesting. We will compose similar last assessments with them. Our folks are not rich for that reason they brought us here. In this way, the President should pay our educators". Ibrahim Mohammed expressed.

Their folks, who couldn't manage the cost of good tuition based schools, carried them to this school trusting that they would learn something and become noticeable later on; in any case, their educators are protesting.
The understudies say the educators' strike is a wellspring of incredible concern to them yet they are likewise worried about the unfortunate foundation of their schools.
These schools are a passing snare. The groundworks of three schools are uncovered and hanging. The points of support could implode out of the blue, causing a catastrophe. The rooftops have openings in them.
