The move, according to the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), is in solidarity with victims of several attacks on teachers in the Manya Krobo area and the country, with recent incidents being reported in two schools in the former. The recent attacks on teachers in the two schools, he said were not the first in the schools in question as similar attacks were recorded in the past. To curb future incidents of this nature, the municipal GNAT chairman said engagements were held with the Municipal Security Committee (MUSEC) and other stakeholders. The GNAT chairman who blamed the situation on “child rights” said restrictions on disciplinary measures against students and pupils was partly to blame for the impunity. According to him, GNAT is pushing through to ensure that the Teachers’ Compensation Act to compensate teachers who fall victim is passed.
