Labour Minister banks on dialogue to end teachers’ strike, rules out alternative measures

Speaking to the media after the meeting on October 9, Mr Agyekum described the discussions as positive and expressed confidence that the parties would make significant progress towards ending the industrial action by the close of the day.

Labour Minister Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum has expressed confidence that dialogue will resolve the ongoing strike by three teacher unions, insisting that the government will not need to resort to alternative measures to compel teachers to return to the classroom.

It’s been a very positive meeting, and I strongly believe that by the close of the day we should be able to have a solution to this industrial action,” he said.
