The University Teachers' Association of Ghana (UTAG) today laid down their working tools due to government’s failure to address the worrying condition of service of lecturers.
According to the Association, government has breached the timelines agreed for resolution. UTAG is, therefore, withdrawing teaching and related activities until further notice.
Among other things, UTAG wants government to reconsider the payment of its annual research allowance to a more realistic allowance “as this is critical to our research output, promotion and ultimately national development.”
JoyNews’ Ayisha Ibrahim will tonight host the following guests as they share their views on the topic for tonight’s discussion on PM Express “UTAG strike has the NLC been proactive enough?”
The guests are; National President of UTAG. Prof Solomon Nunoo, Executive Secretary of National Labour Commission, Ofosu Asamoah, Labour Consultant, Austin Gamey and CEO of Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Benjamin Arthur.
