Education Ministry: NAGRAT strike not necessary
Audrey Agyiri-Inkoom, Ghanadot

Accra, Nov 25, Ghanadot - The Education Ministry has expressed utter surprise over threats of strike by the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT).

Public Relations Officer of the Ministry, Paul Krampah speaking on Joy FM said he is at a loss as to why the Association will take such a decision.

NAGRAT cites among other things, the lowering conditions of service for teachers, accusing GES of slashing their monthly responsibility allowance from GH 1.00 to 30 Gp and their car maintenance allowance from GH 40.00 to GH7.00.

NAGRAT has served notice members will lay down their tools on November 30, 2009 after a one month ultimatum for government to address their grievances expired.

The decision to embark on the industrial action was taken at a meeting of the association in Sunyani at the weekend, following which the National Council directed its members to lay down their tools with effect from Monday. They have also been directed not to participate in any official duties from the date of the strike.

The teachers' action comes one week ahead of the first-term examinations of most senior high schools in the country.

The President of NAGRAT, Mr. Kwame Alorvi, disclosed that the association had given notice of its intended strike to the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) after several unsuccessful efforts to get issues related to teachers' conditions of service resolved.
