Ghana Teacher Unions' Strike Continues as Negotiations Stall Over New Allowance Demands

The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) in Ghana has confirmed that negotiations with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to resolve the ongoing pre-tertiary teachers' strike have ended without an agreement. The unions are demanding a new allowance for which the government currently lacks a mandate to negotiate, leading to a stalemate. The government expects to take further action if the strike continues beyond Friday, October 9, 2026.
