Going on strike over one issue is insufficient to put legitimate pressure on the government. Primary school teachers need their laptops, from which their CPD allowance had been deducted already for it.\u201d He said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/61c387cabe214cc1a32d0307e5024de1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Amoah also mentioned that the leaders of the three popular teacher unions at the basic level viz GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT-GH Should cause the government to fulfill his obligations to teachers spanning from the payment of promotion arrears, responsibility allowances among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 the government through GES has failed to honor certain privileges due to teachers. These privileges include promotion, incremental jumps, study leave with or without pay, re-engagement and other hosts of allowances,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/544f4f2cce6b4514a18643be72cbb8fa\"\/>Additionally, ATAG has cautioned these three giant labour unions in education not to deceive their members after their agitation over 1T1L failed. He said, \u201cWe do not think that GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT-GH are  teachers to go on strike to save their image after many threats to the government over the TM1 laptop did not yield results.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: bricyboateng.com<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Political_Agent (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
