The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has ordered the Controller and Accountant General’s Department to withhold the July 2024 salaries of all teaching staff of the Colleges of Education (CETAG) with the exception of the College Principals.
GTEC, in a letter dated Monday, July 22 said this is due to CETAG staff’s failure to call off strike from June 2024.
Staff of CETAG are staging this strike in protest against the government’s delay in implementing the arbitral award and negotiated service conditions.
“At the instance of the Minister of Education on the non-adherence of CETAG members to call off an illegal strike from June 2024, you are by this letter requested to stop the salaries of all teaching staff of the Colleges of Education (CETAG) except for the College Principals for July 2024.
“By this letter, College Principals are not to validate the July 2024 salaries of all teaching staff”, the letter read.
