Government keeps appealing to striking teachers to resume work – Apaak

The government says it will keep engaging striking pre-tertiary teachers to return to the classroom as it works to resolve their grievances, with thousands of pupils affected by the industrial action.

So as long as they are not in the classroom, we will continue to plead with them,” Dr Apaak told Citi FM on Thursday, October 8, 2026.” Dr Apaak said the government was particularly concerned about the interruption to pupils’ education and would continue to appeal to teachers to return to their classrooms while their concerns were addressed.
