NO PAY, NO PEACE! Unpaid Teachers to embark on ‘YɛreGyeYɛnSika’ Demo Today

Published:

Members of the Coalition of Unpaid Teachers (COE & University) are set to stage a demonstration in Accra on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, to demand the payment of outstanding salary arrears.

According to the organisers, the protest—dubbed “Yeregyeyensika Demonstration (Reloaded)”, will bring together affected teachers who say they have endured months of unpaid salaries despite repeated appeals to authorities.

The demonstrators are expected to assemble at the popular Obra Spot at Kwame Nkrumah Circle at 9:00 a.m. before marching to the Ministry of Finance to present their grievances.

Leaders of the coalition say the protest is intended to draw government attention to the financial hardship many affected teachers continue to face as a result of delayed payments.

The group noted that several members, particularly those recruited under the Colleges of Education (COE) and universitie, have not received their salaries for extended periods, leaving them struggling to meet basic living expenses.

Organisers described the demonstration as a renewed push to compel authorities to address the situation urgently, insisting that previous engagements have not yielded the desired results.

They say the “Yeregyeyensika Demonstration (Reloaded)” is meant to amplify their call for the immediate release of their owed salaries and to push for long-term solutions to prevent similar delays in the future.

The coalition is expected to submit a formal petition at the Ministry of Finance after the march, urging government officials to take swift action to resolve the matter.
