PRETAG threaten industrial action over unpaid 20% deprived-area allowance
The Association had earlier threatened industrial action at the end of July over the outstanding allowance but suspended the action following interventions by the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission.
The Pre-Tertiary Teachers Association of Ghana (PRETAG) has given government a two-week ultimatum to implement the 20% deprived-area allowance for teachers or face a series of industrial actions.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the Association’s National Executive Council meeting in Koforidua on Monday, August 10, 2026, National President King Ali Awudu said government must act by the end of August to avert industrial action.
