The Teachers and Educational Workers’ Union (TEWU) of TUC (Ghana) has declared an indefinite nationwide strike effective Friday, September 19, 2025, accusing government of neglecting the welfare of non-teaching staff in the education sector.
In a statement signed by General Secretary King James Azortibah, TEWU directed all members—including staff of the Ghana Education Service (GES), public and technical universities, the Ghana Library Authority, and the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board—to stay away from work until further notice.
“This decision has become inevitable due to Government and employer institutions’ persistent failure to address long-standing concerns… despite exhausting all laid-down legal and procedural requirements,” the union stated.
Key Demands
“We have exercised patience and restraint. The responsibility for the disruption of industrial peace in the education sector rests squarely with Government and its agencies,” the statement declared.
The strike is expected to paralyse administrative, security, library, and support services across schools, universities, and cultural institutions nationwide.
Notices have been sent to the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labour, GES, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, and the National Labour Commission, urging employers to respect the lawful action of non-teaching staff.
