The teachers’ union, known as the All Teachers Alliance Ghana (ATAG), is expected to strike on Wednesday, December 15, 2021.
The protest, according to the group, was to appease its displeasure with the government’s decision to deduct 509 of the teacher’s allowance as payment for a single teacher’s laptop policy.
According to the Union, the arrests were made during the ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
Mr Amoah, who believed the teachers had been disrespected, emphasized that this time around they would not look, not care, but would protest until their grievances were resolved.
Meanwhile, the founder of the Innovative Teachers Association in Ghana, Stephen Desu, said that as the matter was still in court there was no need for ATAG and other teachers’ unions to start a protest.
Under the one teacher’s policy, One laptop, the government required teachers to pay 30 percent of the GHS 1,550 deductions from their salaries while paying 70 percent.
