The

who
has
been

has
served
notice
of
industrial
disharmony.
“The
teacher
has
lost
his
left
eye,
meaning
that
for
the
rest
of
his
life,
he
will
be
going
through
life
with
only
one
eye.
His
medical
bills
and
all
those
things,
who
will
take
care
of
it?”
he
asked.
“That’s
why
we
are
by
this
medium
telling
the
duty
bearers
of
the
Ghana
Education
Service
that
if
by
next
week
we
do
not
hear
anything
positive,
we
will
decide
the
next
line
of
action,”
Mr
Tanko
warned.
He
asked
the
duty
bearers
to
be
swift
to
tame
the
anger
of
the
teachers.
