Three teacher unions have raised concerns and threatened to take action regarding the payment of their allowances.

According to the unions, there has been unease and agitation among teachers who have yet to receive their allowances amongst others as stipulated in the signed Collective Agreement signed on May 24, 2024.

"The Teacher Unions have observed with great concern the uneasy calm and agitations by teachers owing to the display of lukewarm attitude to the directives by the National Labour Commission, (NLC) and the feet dragging by government on the concerns of Teachers which has culminated into serious anger and agitations at the grassroots."

This was stated in a press statement signed by the General Secretary of GNAT, Thomas T. Musah, the President of NAGRAT, Angel Carbonu, and the President of CCT-GH, King Ali Awudu, on Tuesday, August 27.

They called on the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education to act swiftly to resolve the precarious and difficult situation currently confronting the teachers by the close of Monday, September 16, 2024.

“If by the close of the said date, we do not receive any favourable response, we shall determine the next line of action,” the statement added.
