The Deputy Director of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Stephen Adu has denied speculations that his outfit is considering terminating the contracts of protesting teachers.
Mr. Adu stated on Adom FM on Wednesday that it is against the Labours to terminate the contracts of striking teachers.
The GES on Tuesday issued a warning to the teachers to go back to the classrooms or face sanctions, but Mr. Adu said the GES cannot terminate the contracts of the striking teachers.
Mr. Stephen Adu Adakabre Frimpong Manso, host of Dwaso Nsem that, the GES has communicated to the District Education Directors to list the names of teachers who would absent themselves from school and find out what their reasons were, for staying out of the classrooms.
He emphasized that the education service together with the two main teachers’ associations – National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) – have agreed that teachers return to the classrooms after various fruitful negotiations with the government.
“Therefore if the teachers are still not in the classroom then we have to get to them and explain issues and negotiate with them”, he added.
Meanwhile, the protesting teachers will be holding separate news conferences on Wednesday on their position to latest developments on their demand for better conditions from the government.
