Teachers will receive a 15% COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) in return for agreeing not to strike in August.
Ghanaian teachers announced their intention to go on strike if their 20% COLA demand was not met, but compromised with the government on a 15% increase.
This comes on the back of a substantial increase in inflation, particularly daily goods such as food, fuel, and related expenses.
The compromise was agreed by the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers Ghana (CCT).
