The National Executive Council of the University Teachers Association of Ghana today 10th February, 2022 met with  the Ministry of Education for the second time in a week over the ongoing strike actions engaged in by the teacher union.

However, the meeting which was aimed at finding amicable solutions so UTAG could return back to the lecture halls  has yet again ended in a stalemate as the National Executive Council of UTAG wasn’t convinced with the proposal made by the MoE.

On the other hand too, the National Labour Commission and the University Teachers Association of Ghana are in court today to report how far they have gone in trying to settle this issue out of court as advised by the court on 3rd February, 2022
