UTAG Standoff: Strike Deepens Over Galamsey and Education Reforms.
The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has intensified its strike as it demands immediate governmental action against illegal mining, locally known as galamsey. UTAG also seeks better working conditions, salary adjustments, and a more defined educational reform policy. UTAG's decision to embark on the strike stems from the perceived inaction of the government in addressing environmental degradation caused by galamsey activities. As university students nationwide feel the impact of the strike, the teachers remain resolute, pushing for negotiations.
