N/R: Schools Deserted As Strike By Teacher Unions Take Effect

Some pupils in the Northern Regional capital, Tamale have appealed to government and striking teachers in the country to resolve their differences quickly to prevent a catastrophe in the upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examination, BECE.

Already, performance in the BECE in the Region has been a major source of worry for stakeholders as the region’s performance falls below the national average.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of the Conference of Heads of Basic Schools, Ampomah Kojo Bismark, told the media, that there is a plan to address the concerns of candidates.
