Teachers of public basic schools in
the Tamale Metro Area have joined the on-going nationwide labour unrest
implemented by 12 labour unions including the Ghana National Association of
Teachers (GNAT). They abandoned the classrooms on the first day of the strike
to push government to release their accrued Second Tier Pension contribution to
be managed by a private company. This is happening at a time several
research findings have revealed the increasing falling standard of education in
the Northern Region. Frustrated pupils of Kukuo AME Zion were hopelessly found
loitering on the school premises. They made a passionate appeal to government
to resolve the labour impasse for their teachers to return to the classroom. Meanwhile,
patients seeking medical services at the Tamale Teaching Hospital are appealing
to the striking Doctors to return to post. Doctors there have laid down their
tools in compliance with the Ghana Medical Association (GMA’s) directive.
