The National Association of Graduate Teachers, NAGRAT, has threatened to direct its members to take breaks from work if the government does not commit to conversations to return the academic Calendar to the trimester system.
This is in reaction to the newly released academic Calendar for students under which form two and three students under the single-track system began their academic year on November 1 and are scheduled to conclude on March 6.
Form two students under the double track system are expected to commence on March 8 and continue until May 9, leaving little room for teachers to have their well-deserved rest.
In an interview with an Accra based Private Radio Station, President of NAGRAT, Angel Carbonu said the Association may be forced to withdraw its members if government fails to return to the trimester system.
He suggested that the way forward will be for the Ghana Education Service not to admit the 2023/2024 first years into the double-track programme.
Within three years according to him, all Schools will come back to normal and the double track system will end.
