Today’s meeting between the administration and the three striking teacher unions is slated to conclude talks regarding their unfulfilled requests.
The government agreed to address three of the unions’ concerns on Tuesday. These included providing laptops to all teachers by the end of June and providing a draft of the scheme of service for union assessment by April 8.
The Coalition of Concerned Teachers’ Adokwei Ayikwei-Awulley, the director of communications, told Citi News that although Tuesday’s meeting was beneficial, the union would need to involve its members before opting to call off the strike.
“They directed that we should call off the strike, and we have heard them. But we will go through the necessary processes to meet our various councils and then take a move on that. The strike is not in perpetuity. So definitely we will call it off at the right time. But we have heard them. We will start the main negotiation, and we have told the commission that we have heard them and we are going to meet our various councils, and then we will take it from there and then call off the strike if the understanding is reached with them.”
