The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has completely withdrawn all services on respective campuses today Wednesday July, 24, 2024.
CETAG arrived at this decision during an emergency meeting held on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 following the Minister for Education’s directive to Principals and the Controller and Accountant General not to validate the July 2024 salaries of the teaching staff of the 46 public colleges of education due to ongoing legal strike.
“In an emergency meeting of National Council today, 23rd July 2024, council members took a unanimous decision to withdraw all our services which include attendance to meetings, congregation ceremonies, and provision of academic counseling services as well as supervision of students in the halls of residence with immediate effect until further notice,” the Association disclosed.
The association further noted that it had referred the illegal directive to freeze their July salaries to their lawyers for the necessary actions.
“Meanwhile, leadership has referred the illegal directive to freeze our July 2024 salaries to our lawyers to take the necessary action on it immediately. We wish to assure all members that leadership is determined to fight on until justice is served CETAG,” they stated.
Meanwhile, GTEC has urged the striking members to return to the classrooms, assuring them that their concerns are being addressed.
