The Polytechnic Teachers Association of Ghana (POTAG) has called off its three-month long strike after it reached an agreement with the government to pay its book and research allowances.
Leaders of the Association signed an agreement with the government Tuesday afternoon after assurances from the Minister for Labour Relations and Employment Haruna Iddrisu.
POTAG members have been on strike since May 2014 over the non-payment of their book and research allowances since the 2013 academic year.
Meanwhile, the Members of the University Teachers Association (UTAG) who also embarked on a similar action in July, forcing many public universities to delay reopening for this academic year are likely to call off their strike on Thursday.
The leadership of UTAG would meet Iddrisu to reach an agreement over the mode of payment for their book and research allowances.
