The Ghanaian Times is of the view that the strike by members of the Technical University Teachers Association should not have been declared in the first place because the action could disrupt the academic calendar and affect students and their parents. Members of TUTAG declared a strike on October 7, 2019 to press home demand for better working conditions. The paper is appealing to the teachers and government to resolve the impasse as quickly as possible to bring the teachers back to the classrooms.
The Daily Graphic urges stakeholders in the provision of potable water, proper sanitation and hygiene services in the country to wake up to their responsibility. The paper points to the lack of basic handwashing facilities in the country, adding that it threatens the lives of more than half of the country’s population as they are exposed to Diarrhoea and Cholera. In a write up to mark Handwashing Day, the Graphic is hopeful that the day will draw attention to handwashing and by default, hand hygiene.
