The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has called on the government to expedite efforts to address the grievances of striking teachers, warning that further delays could worsen the situation in the education sector.
TUC Secretary-General, Joshua Ansah says the prolonged industrial action is negatively affecting teaching and learning, urging the government to intervene urgently to bring the dispute to an end.
The teachers remain on strike despite calls from some members of the public for them to return to the classroom.
Speaking on the impasse, Mr Ansah appealed to the government to take immediate steps to address the teachers’ concerns, citing their previous experiences as a key factor behind the ongoing action.
“We are asking the government to expedite action and resolve their concerns. The teachers are doing this based on their previous experiences, and the government must come in now,” he said.
Mr Ansah stressed the need for a lasting resolution to the dispute to prevent further disruption to academic activities.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Labour, Jobs and Employment, Emmanuel Agyekum, has assured the public that the government is working to resolve the impasse and get teachers back into the classrooms.
“The teachers were looking up to us to provide, and I can confirm to you that we are resolving it,” he said.
The government’s assurance comes amid growing concerns over the impact of the strike on the education sector, with stakeholders hoping for a swift resolution to allow teaching and learning to resume fully.
The resolution of the outstanding grievances is expected to be crucial to ending the industrial action and restoring normal academic activities.
