The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) is set to convene with its national council on Thursday, July 25, to deliberate on the potential conclusion of its ongoing strike.
This strike, which has been in effect for over a month, was launched due to the government’s failure to enforce the National Labour Commission’s Arbitral Award Orders designed to enhance teachers’ working conditions.
Recent negotiations between CETAG and the government have resulted in notable agreements.
These agreements are viewed as progress towards addressing the issues that prompted the strike.
CETAG President, Prince Obeng Himah, stated that while advancements have been made, a final decision on the strike will be made after the national council meeting on Thursday.
The results of this meeting will be pivotal in determining whether teachers will return to work or continue with the strike, contingent on the full implementation of the agreed terms.
“We have had a series of discussions, we have had a significant progress, a lot of proposals have been put on the table. We’re going to touch base with our members.”
“What I can say for now is that we have made a lot of significant progress based on the proposals that have been put on the table,” the President of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana stated.
