The KNUST branch of the Teachers and Educational Workers Union, Ghana (TEWU-GH) made waves on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, when they declared an indefinite strike in protest against their exclusion from the university’s governing council. This decision created tension and uncertainty among the staff and students of the prestigious institution.
However, hope was on the horizon as Mr. Sulemana Abdul Rahman, National Chairman of TEWU-GH, announced on Friday that there had been a fruitful meeting with the leadership of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) in Accra. The meeting, convened by Professor Ahmed Abdulai Jinapor, Director-General of GTEC, aimed to find a resolution to the conflict that had led TEWU-GH to take such drastic action.
After hours of discussions and negotiations, both parties were able to reach a consensus that addressed the concerns raised by TEWU-GH. As a result, the union has agreed to call off their strike, bringing relief to the KNUST community and ensuring that normal operations can resume.
This outcome demonstrates the power of productive dialogue and collaboration in finding solutions to complex issues. It also highlights the importance of inclusivity and transparency in governance, particularly within the education sector.
Moving forward, it is hoped that this incident will serve as a learning opportunity for all stakeholders involved and lead to stronger relationships and communication channels between TEWU-GH, GTEC, and KNUST.
In conclusion, the decision of KNUST TEWU-GH to call off their strike is a positive development that paves the way for a more harmonious and productive working environment. It is a reminder of the importance of mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation in resolving conflicts and moving towards a shared vision of excellence in
