Government will meet leaders of the Apex Council this week to consider civil servants' demands for improved working conditions in a bid to avert a looming industrial action.
Teachers have threatened to stage a nationwide strike, starting next term, if government fails to meet their demands for a pay hike and a review of rural-based educators' allowances, among other things.
The threat comes amid unrest in the civil service, which saw public hospital doctors taking a month-long industrial action, demanding improved working conditions. The doctors have since returned to work after government gave in to their demands.
