A High Court in Accra has ordered the striking teacher unions to discontinue their strike action.
The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers have also been ordered by the court to comply with the directives of the National Labour Commission.
The Commission ruled that the strike action by the teacher unions is illegal and directed them to resume their duties with immediate effect.
The National Labour Commission said the teacher unions did not follow due process before declaring the strike action, causing them to declare the strike illegal.
However, the teacher unions called the bluff of the Commission and continued the strike.
But, in its ruling on an ex-parte motion applied for by the NLC, the High Court has ordered the teachers to go back to class, adding the order be for 10 days after which it may be repeated on notice.
