FWSC to meet striking teacher unions on Tuesday

The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) is expected to meet the leadership of the three striking teacher unions on Tuesday, October 6, to negotiate their concerns over conditions of service.

Promotion arrears have remained a longstanding issue in Ghana’s pre-tertiary education sector, with teacher unions repeatedly demanding that government clear outstanding payments owed to their members.

The development comes amid a nationwide strike by the teacher unions over demands for the payment of outstanding arrears, particularly promotion arrears, as well as concerns relating to their conditions of service.
