The Coalition of Concerned Teachers Ghana has threatened to continue with its strike this week.
The group declared an indefinite strike last Thursday, November 1, over what it said is the failure of the government to pay salary arrears and the imposition of a life insurance policy on its members.
The Coalition said the salary arrears for over 42,000 members from 2013 to 2016 have not been paid by the government.
It also accused the government of deducting GH¢10.00 from their salaries to pay for life insurance, contrary to its promise to bear such insurance expenses.
In an interview with an Accra based Radio station, the President of CCTG, King Ali Awudu, said the teachers will continue to stay away from work until the government meets their demands.
He said the group had considered a legal action against the government over the matter earlier in the year, but backed down after the government indicated that it was taking steps to pay the arrears.
At its 26th National Executive meeting in Tamale, CCTG concluded that it can no longer trust government, following several unfulfilled promises in connection with payment of the arrears.
