The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has been directed by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission to immediately end its strike.
The Commission characterized the action of CETAG in striking at this critical juncture as an act of ill faith, considering the government’s endeavors to resolve their grievances.
Due to the government’s protracted implementation of the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and agreed service conditions, CETAG announced an indefinite strike on Friday, June 14, 2024.
Nonetheless, Benjamin Arthur, the FWSC’s CEO, stated in a speech on Friday in Accra, “Government has demonstrated goodwill towards this because we believe that it is mutually beneficial, and it will benefit this country that at least we do something for our colleagues who are teaching in the colleges of Education. The government means well.”
“So we are calling on them to go back to the classroom to go and teach. This strike is out of bad faith.”
The Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education President, Professor Samuel Atintono, also expressed dissatisfaction with the teachers’ choice to go on strike.
He said the move was unnecessary since it interferes with students’ ability to complete their coursework in the right manner.
