Schools remain open despite teacher unions strike – GES
Schools will remain open despite a strike by teachers. This is the latest update from the managers of Pre-tertiary Education.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has directed Heads of Senior High Schools through the Regional and District Directors to mobilize their Management teams to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all students in schools.
This comes after the leadership of all the various unions in the Pre-Tertiary Education Sector embarked on a nationwide strike in response to the government’s failure to grant them a 20% cost of living allowance amidst the current high inflation rate, increases in the price of goods and services, among others.
