Teacher unions meet today over intended strike
The three teacher Unions, which threatened a strike by close of Monday February 29, are expected to meet today [Tuesday], to deliberate on the way forward.
The crucial meeting is expected to discuss whether to strike or allow the current interventions by government to go through.
In a move to avert the strike, government last week, paid over GHc 1.5 million as part payment of the GHc16 million owed them.
There is also currently a validation process ongoing to ensure that the rest of the amount is paid.
But the teacher unions say they need to meet today [Tuesday], to evaluate the situation and take the next step.
