CETAG: Strike Will Continue Until Real Commitments Are Made
Teachers' association insists the strike will persist until the government fulfills its promises
- ETAG maintains that the strike will only be moderated, not fully suspended
- CETAG criticizes the government's financial commitments as insufficient and lacking in tangible action
- The strike follows previous unsuccessful negotiations with the National Labour Commission (NLC)
The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has made it clear that its ongoing strike will persist until their concerns are fully addressed, despite calls to end the action.
Although the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) urged CETAG to suspend the strike to facilitate further dialogue, CETAG President Maxwell Bunu emphasized that the strike could only be moderated, not completely called off.
He criticized the government’s financial commitments as insufficient to resolve their issues, stating that despite promises and documents presented by the government, concrete action has yet to be seen.
Bunu explained that the documents provided were not enough to justify ending the strike, insisting that the association would brief the Council and await their decision. He expressed frustration over the government’s failure to meet their demands, accusing them of insensitivity to the concerns of educators.
This latest strike action, which began on January 2, 2025, follows previous notices issued in September and December of 2024, with no resolution from the National Labour Commission (NLC).
