Teacher unions to boycott World Teachers’ Day celebration

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana (CCT-GH) have warned that they will not partake in this year’s national celebration of World Teachers’ Day.

This according to them is due to unresolved issues with the Education Ministry.

In a statement issued on September 18, the three teacher unions called out the Ministry for failing to pay a 20% allowance promised to teachers posted to underserved areas.

The three groups also demanded a refund of GHc 44.55 to teachers from the Education Ministry as instructed by President Nana Akufo-Addo.

The unions have given the Education Ministry a two-week ultimatum to fulfill these demands.

Below is their statement:
