Eduwatch calls for urgent resolution of teachers’ strike and reforms

It called for the immediate payment of outstanding promotion allowances, the conclusion of negotiations on the new Collective Agreement and measures to restore lost instructional time.

Education policy think tank Africa Education Watch (Eduwatch) has called for an urgent resolution to the nationwide strike by Ghana’s pre-tertiary teacher unions, warning that continued disruption of classes is denying pupils valuable instructional time and could affect learning outcomes.“Protecting instructional time and the right to education requires not only resolving the present strike, but also building efficient, predictable, transparent and accountable systems for managing Ghana’s teaching workforce,” Eduwatch said.
