Parliament’s Education Committee is set to meet the University Teachers Association of Ghana, UTAG and the National Labour Commission over the six weeks old UTAG strike.
The lecturers remain resolute about their demands and have not entered the lecture halls despite negotiations and the legal tussle between them and the National Labour Commission.
An appeal for an interlocutory injunction on the UTAG strike was successful as both parties were urged to return to the negotiation table.
UTAG has also indicated that it is yet to assess the court order from the ruling on Tuesday.
The committee is optimistic that it will explore ways of resolving the impasse.
The Majority group in Parliament has also called on UTAG to consider the plight of students and return to work.
