Barring any last minute changes, the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) will be suspending their strike action today.
President John Dramani Mahama met with executives of both parties and stakeholders to find lasting solutions to the strike action and to plead with the teachers to go back to the classroom.
He pleaded with the teachers to put the interest of the nation first and consider the effect the timing of their strike will have on their students.
Speaking in an interview on Peace FM�s morning show �Kokrokoo� President of GNAT, Samuel Doe indicated their commitment to return to the classroom.
According to him, both groups will hold a press conference today and put out the results of their decision.
�Our only consolidation is that the president has promised and so we will hold the president by his word. Whatever we have arrived at, we will put it out later this afternoon. We are considering the appeal of the President and whatever the final arrangement is, you will be told� he said.
Speaking on the same platform, the National Secretary of NAGRAT, Mr. Seth Oduro Buadu, also indicated: �We have agreed to call a press conference by 12�oclock to suspend the strike.
We will meet with the press to inform them of our intention to suspend the strike. If things don�t go as agreed when school reopens, we will resume the strike action�.
