The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) labeled the industrial action as an act of bad faith as the government is currently making efforts to address some grievances of the CETAG members.

CETAG on 14th June 2024, Friday, declared an Indefinite Strike because they believe the government of Ghana has delayed in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and the negotiated service conditions.

As a result, CETAG has been instructed to end the strike immediately while discussions continue to address their demands.

“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,” he said.

The College of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) is a prominent professional body representing educators in Ghana’s colleges of education.

CETAG advocates for the rights, welfare, and professional development of its members, ensuring their voices are heard in policy-making and educational reforms.

The association engages in negotiations with the government on issues such as salaries, working conditions, and benefits, striving to enhance the quality of teacher education in the country.

Through workshops, seminars, and conferences, CETAG promotes continuous professional growth, aiming to uplift the standards of teaching and learning within Ghana’s educational institutions.
