GNAT Leadership Stages Walkout Over TM1 Laptop Delays
Teachers Protest: GNAT Walks Out on Deputy Education Minister Over Laptop Delays
In a dramatic show of discontent, members of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) recently staged a walkout on Deputy Education Minister Professor Kingsley Nyarko. The protest, held on July 22, 2024, in the Ashanti Region, was sparked by ongoing delays in supplying TM1 laptops to teachers.
The Walkout: What Happened?
During a scheduled meeting at GNAT Village, Abankro Ejisu, the GNAT council members voiced their frustration over the unmet promises regarding the TM1 laptops. The meeting was meant to address these issues and receive updates from the Education Ministry. However, when no official information was provided, the GNAT members decided to leave the meeting in protest.
Accompanied by chants of “Away! Away!!” and clapping, the demonstration was a clear sign of the teachers’ dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of the laptop distribution policy.
Why the Protest?
The protest highlights the widespread frustration among teachers regarding the government’s “one teacher, one laptop” initiative. Many teachers are still waiting for their laptops, despite repeated assurances and delays.
Key Points:
- Location: GNAT Village, Abankro Ejisu, Ashanti Region
- Reason for Protest: Delays and lack of information on TM1 laptop distribution
Looking Ahead
The walkout underscores a growing frustration with how the Ministry of Education is managing the laptop distribution program. Teachers and unions are calling for more transparency and quicker action to address these delays.
