Teacher Unions Start Regional Demo With Volta Region On May 3rd
The latest news from the Ghana Education Service indicates that teacher unions are planning to initiate regional demonstrations to press their demands. Professional teachers in the Volta Region will begin on May 3, 2024.
Following the government’s failure to show commitment in the ongoing negotiations with the teacher unions, the pre-tertiary education unions warned of dire consequences.
The regional secretaries of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT)-GH signed a letter on April 24, 2024.
On May 3rd, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., the Volta regional demonstration will take place. The notice anticipates the participation of 150 professional teachers.
The announced route for the demonstration is as follows: GCB Bank-Market Branch through Ola Trafficight, Civic Centre, then to Fidelity Bank, and finally to the Regional Education Office.
The demonstrators will present a petition to officers at the Regional Education Office to bring the demonstration to an end.
However, other regions are expected to announce their respective demonstrations in the coming days should the government fail to respond positively to the demands of the teacher unions and other trade unions in the country.
