The Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations has referred the three striking teacher unions to the National Labour Commission (NLC).
The unions have embarked on an industrial action over the appointment of the new Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES).
They insist Dr. Nkansah is not an educationist but rather a banker.
However, a second meeting between the unions and the Ministry involved on Monday ended in a stalemate.
This has compelled the Ministry to run to the NLC.
Already some government officials have spoken against the strike action.
For instance, Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has said that the strike action is unfair.
According to him, Dr. Eric Nkansah does not deserve that at the beginning of his tenure.
He, therefore, implored the striking teachers to return to work.
