The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) is in an emergency meeting over their prolonged industrial action.
On June 14, teachers in the various colleges of education laid down their tools, demanding better working conditions and remuneration packages.
This was in response to the government’s delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions.
CETAG's demands include the payment of one month’s salary to each member for additional duties performed in 2022, and the application of agreed rates of allowances payable to public universities to deserving CETAG members.
This strike has affected all 46 public colleges of education nationwide.
According to the leadership of CETAG, the strike aims to put pressure on the government to fulfill these commitments.
