Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) and the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) are threatening to strike by the end of the month if government fails to pay all monies it owes the teachers.
The decision, according to the group, follows government�s inability to meet a September 17 deadline to pay all outstanding debts it owed the teachers.
The two teacher unions in August threatened to lay down their tools if the government failed to pay their allowances which have been in arrears for more than two years.
President of the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Emmanuel Opoku in an interview with Citi News said letters have been sent to the education ministry and its allied agencies notifying them about the groups� decision.
�Our ultimatum ended yesterday, as at yesterday we�ve not received any information from the Ministry of education or GES�today, we are sending a letter to Labour Commission, ministry of education and GES to inform them of our decision to declare a strike by the end of the month. We are also embarking on this decision being guided by the labour laws on strike action,� he said.
