The Ghana Education Service (GES) has instructed junior and senior high school head teachers to maintain school operations despite the ongoing strike staged by three teacher unions.
Additionally, they are tasked with ensuring the safety of students during their time at school.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, March 20, GES reassured parents to remain calm, emphasising that management is actively monitoring the situation.
"Regional and District Directors have further been directed to ensure that Heads keep schools open and closely supervise all children who report to school pending further directives from Management of GES."
On Wednesday, March 20, 2024, three teacher unions, namely the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT), initiated a strike.
The unions cited the government's failure to address their conditions of service as the reason for their industrial action.
