UTAG’s Impending Strike Won’t Come Off; We’ve Engaged - Education Ministry

Ministry of Education says it has reached an agreement with leadership of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) over its intended strike. The UTAG had also threatened to resume its strike on the Friday if the government fails to show commitment to its demand for better working conditions and implementation of the the 2012 memorandum, which pegged their salaries at

US$1500 to US$2000. The group asked its members to resume their suspended strike because negotiations with the government were still inconclusive month after it suspended the earlier strike. But Head of the Public Relations at the Ministry of Education, Kwesi Kwarteng said, the two parties have reached a consensus making way for UTAG to rescind its decision.
