The Teachers and Educational Workers Union, TEWU says it will from Wednesday, January 5, 2022 lay down its tools.
The strike is to register the Union’s displeasure about how the government and its related agencies have not paid prompt attention to the welfare and other concerns of the non-teaching staff of the Ghana Education Service.
Speaking to Journalists in Accra, General Secretary of TEWU, Mark Denkyira Korankye said members have been sidelined in the payment of the ‘Continuous Professional Development, allowance’, whereas their teaching counterparts have received two tranches, since the package was announced by the government in 2020.
Mr. Korankye said a formal complaint was lodged with the National Labour Commission and Management of GES and other stakeholders where it was resolved that if by the close of 2020, the allowance is not paid to non-teaching staff of the GES, then as schools re-opened for the last phase of the Second Semester, members must withdraw their services.
