Ghanaian Teacher Unions Suspend Strike, Negotiations to Continue

Three major teacher unions in Ghana, including the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Pre-Tertiary Teachers' Association of Ghana (PRETAG), have suspended their industrial action that began on September 25, 2026. The decision to suspend the strike came after engagements with the Council of State and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission. While the strike is suspended, negotiations with the government over outstanding demands related to promotions, conditions of service, and allowances are set to continue. Teachers are expected to return to classrooms on Monday, October 12, 2026.
