CETAG suspends one-month old strike

The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has suspended its strike.

CETAG has been on strike for a month in demand of better conditions of service.

The strike distorted the academic calendar in various colleges across the country including the end-of-semester examination.

This has compelled the Minister of Education to intervene pledging to resolve the matter in two weeks.

The National President of CETAG, Prince Obeng-Himah Binghi explains that, they still have a number of options on the table including summoning the government before the Labour Commission to redeem its pledge.

“CETAG’s one-month strike has been suspended effective today. The Minister of Education has appealed to GETAG on three different occasions so that it will pave the way for him to intervene personally and resolve the issue two weeks after suspension. So with effect from today, teachers in all the 46 Colleges of Education are going back to the classroom.”

However, CETAG says it may haul the Ministry of Education and by extension, the government before the National Labour Commission should the Minister of Education’s commitment to resolving their working demands fail.
