The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) is calling on the government to take immediate action to address the challenges facing the education sector.

Musah emphasized that the nation has good intentions for the president, but if the matter is not quickly addressed, it will lead to anger.

Baro noted that schools in the Upper East and Upper West regions are facing severe food shortages, with limited food items and no cooking oil available.
