Teachers threaten strike

Teachers at Cape Coast Amanful Catholic Boys Junior High School (JHS) have threatened to strike if the Metropolitan Assembly fails to stop people from dumping refuse on campus and using the facility as a place of convenience.

Mrs. Georgina Nkum, Head teacher of the school issued the threat on behalf of her colleagues, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency after a church service at the Amanful St Joseph Catholic Church to climax this year’s Catholic Education week celebration.

He said most teachers have also threatened to leave the school. She said numerous complaints to the Metropolitan Assembly had felt on deaf ears, thereby making teaching and learning unbearable.

Mrs. Nkum said the school compound is also used as a football park for the surrounding communities, while the walls are defaced with posters.
