Ghana Teacher Unions End Two-Week Nationwide Strike

Pre-tertiary teacher unions in Ghana have suspended their two-week nationwide strike after reaching an agreement with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission. The industrial action was initiated over disputes concerning unpaid promotion arrears, salary issues, and the implementation of a 20 percent deprived-area/cost-of-living allowance. The government has welcomed the suspension, which is expected to allow for a smooth continuation of the education calendar.
