Teachers’ Strike: Government to continue engagement of teacher unions on July.
The Government, represented by the Ministers of Employment and Labour Relations, Finance, Education and National Security will reengage teacher unions on Tuesday, July 12, 2022.
A press release signed by Mr Ignatius Baffour Awuah, Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, after a meeting with the Unions on Friday, July 08, 2022, in Accra to address their concerns, said.
The government entreated the teacher unions to return to the classroom while it addressed their concerns.
The statement added that the government would continue to engage the unions to find a lasting solution.
On Monday, July 04, 2022, four teacher unions - the Ghana National Association of Teachers, National Association of Graduate Teachers, Coalition of Concerned Teachers and Teachers and Educational Workers Union - declared an indefinite strike over the government’s failure to pay them a 20 per cent Cost of Living Allowance.
The unions said the demand was to cushion teachers in the wake of high inflation and increases in price of goods and services with the attendant high cost of living.

A 32-year-old plumber has been sentenced by the Nsawam Circuit Court to three years in prison for stealing parts of a transformer belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
Graphiconline.com reports that the convict, Kwaku Ampomah was charged among other things with the intention to steal and causing damage to the ECG transformer.
The brief facts of the case indicate that the suspect who works as a plumber agreed to go and steal the ECG property with one Tupak who is an electrician now at large.
This was after Kwaku Ampomah who is a Tema-based had gone together with his colleague to work for the said client.
They, therefore, proceeded to Nsawam to carry out the operation. According to the prosecution, after arriving, they had some drinks at a selected spot after which they decided to go to Yawkro to commit the crime.
The suspect was convicted on his own plea by the court, presided over by Ellen Vivian Amoah.
