These unions consist of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT).
The strike was initiated in response to the perceived lack of government action on their grievances regarding working conditions.
In a statement to the media in Accra on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, King Ali Awudu, President of the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana, stressed the necessity for their employers to promptly engage in negotiations to address their concerns.
