Teachers in Ghana are not getting meagre salary, if they were getting a meagre salary like the Government would have paid their money long ago and even paid in advance.This is just a small situation which will be addressed by government. Their salaries will be paid and they will return to the class rooms.

I am thanking those of our colleagues who took bold decitions to come out with this idea.Please if we can create platform for information dissemination towards that aim. Teachers at their District levels who are affected by the three months policy should organise themselves and write to their District Directors of Education and also various teacher union groups in the districts. If the arrears are not paid by a time limit, we announce a strike and those affected would stop attending school.

The succinct strike by especially teacher Unions is partly due to the lack of political will by successive governments over the years.

I believe the issue cannot continue to drag thus far. It is high time government through the ministry comes out with the need policy to help curtail any future occurance.

I trust the current government to do something about the situation so that once and for all, an end shall be brought to this periodic issues of strikes, especially with teachers.

God bless Ghana

The Deputy Minister of Tertiary has constantly indicated that they are not happy when teachers go on strike. Because teachers are expected to be in the class rooms teaching. Per this i know that plans are far advanced to pay them their arrears which is only three months. Government can't be blamed for this because the cause of this arrears is born out of miscommunication between the teachers and their leaders. However government will not turn a blind eye to their demands, they will be given their arrears.

If he doesn't have money where do he get the money to buy car's for state without paying teachers?

Teachers must go on strike for 3 months its so painful

The two major teacher unions should help this strick action to yield good result. If really they care for us as their teachers. how many times will we fill arrears forms while controller have all teachers whom they had paid 3 month arrears to and have the rest to pay to what is wrong with them. STRICK LETS JOIN HANDS TOGETHER AND STRICK.
