I haven’t had class yet this week… Want to
know why? The professors at the University of Ghana are on strike! When we
first arrived the technicians were on strike, which meant none of the
professors had microphones. That strike only lasted a week, so hopefully this
one doesn’t last too long. Not having class is nice, but I don't like the idea of the strike lasting too long. From what I hear if it lasts 21 days they end
the semester and we could potentially go home with no credit. If it last for a
few weeks we may have to stay longer to make up the time. Neither of these
situations would make me happy. I’ve been told this happened three years ago
and lasted for almost 21 days. The semester was going to last longer than
expected, but international students were able to take their finals early and
head home on time. Here is a news article about it… from the sounds of
everything they are striking to get higher wages because it is an election
year.
