A dramatic scene unfolded at the Ghana Education Service (GES) Headquarters as police reinforcement intervened in a protest by teachers. The police gave the teachers a 3-minute ultimatum to vacate the premises, leading to a tense standoff.
The teachers had gathered to submit a petition outlining their grievances and were frustrated by the lack of response after waiting for over two hours. Despite the police order, some teachers showed determination to stay put until their demands are met, with a few even suggesting they would spend the night at the premises if necessary.
The situation highlights the growing frustration among teachers and raises questions about the government’s response to their concerns. As the standoff continues, the outcome of this protest could have significant implications for the education sector in Ghana.
