The Union of Teachers and Education Workers (TEWU) warned that the dual-track system in high schools would suffer disastrous consequences if its members engage in the threat of a strike.
The union, whose majority of the members work as cleaners, cooks, bursars, security personnel, janitors, librarians, laboratory badistants and other non-teaching staff of the Ghana Education Service, tackles the poor conditions of service.
They are also frustrated by the government's decision to recruit more teachers for the dual-track system introduced in high schools without hiring additional non-teaching staff, most of whom are overwhelmed.
TEWU is also concerned about the delay in drafting a new service condition replacing the expired service conditions for its members.
Addressing the host of the Ultimate Breakfast Show, Julius Caesar Anadem, Charles Attah, chairman of TEWU for the KNUST, warned that the country's education system will not be spared by the shock of its industrial action scheduled for late May.
"In short, the children will be affected. In fact, the double track will stop, I tell you. We will tell our mothers and our cooks not to go to work and we will see who will cook for them, "he warned.
Mr Attah pointed out that his members would not continue to accept what he called the discrimination they have been suffering for several years with the help of repetitive excuses from the government.
"The politicians froze the jobs, then the politicians set up a double track and they think they will employ teachers but will not employ non-teaching staff, knowing very well that once the double track is effective, the numbers will increase. Is not this discrimination, "he questioned.
The Union of Teachers and Education Workers has also started a silent protest against the discriminatory allocation of allowances to teachers and non-teaching staff who need to take longer to support the high school dual track system. created by the free SHS government program.
