The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) Leadership has made it clear that the only circumstances under which the strike would cease are those in which they have something concrete to deliver to their members.
Rebecca Ocran Abaidoo, the gender coordinator for the National Association of Graduate Teachers, informed us of this. She said that the leadership would address their concerns and push for their demands at the meeting on Tuesday.

She emphasized that the choice to call off the strike would purely depend on whether the government is able to reach a realistic agreement that they can present to the constituents they represent.
"We are expecting that we would have something practical to communicate to our rank and file so that we would terminate the strike," said Madam Rebecca Ocran. But we have not called off the strike, she emphasized, and we are still on strike. The assertions that the four teacher unions have reversed their decision are untrue, according to Madam Rebecca Ocran, who also said that despite the government's best efforts, the unions must still speak with all ranks and files of their members before making a decision.
It should be recalled that the four teacher unions announced an indefinite strike on July 4, 2022, because the government had refused to provide a 20 percent cost of living allowance.
One hopes that the meeting with the stakeholders tomorrow will produce something concrete in response to the teachers' requests. John Sampah said that he is torn heading into the meeting tomorrow. He continued by saying that if the government makes a good offer, they will take the needs of the country into account and accept it. However, he emphasized that if the government simply enters to beg them, there would be serious repercussions. If the government makes a request, Mr. Sampah warned, "they should be prepared because in seven days, on the 19th, we will truly begin unprecedented industrial action."
