Teachers in deprived island communities in the Ada East District in the Greater Accra Region have called on the government to improve school infrastructure, provide teachers bungalows and ensure timely distribution of supplies and logistics to encourage the retention of teachers posted to the schools on the island.

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) says the decision by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to sideline teacher unions on discussions regarding the organisation of vacation classes for Form 2 Senior High School (SHS) students is a clear violation of the collective agreement which set forth the conditions of service relating to salaries, wages, hours of work among other things.
