The Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana (TTAG) has threatened to embark on a peaceful nationwide protest if the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) is not resolved soon.
The strike, which began on June 14, 2024, stems from the government’s delay in implementing an arbitral award and negotiated service conditions.
Despite an order by the National Labour Commission to call off the strike, CETAG remains firm, insisting their grievances be addressed.
The strike has caused a complete halt in academic and administrative activities, casting uncertainty over the academic calendar.
In a statement issued on July 11, 2024, TTAG urged the government to meet CETAG’s demands or face a nationwide demonstration by teacher trainees.
TTAG accused the government of reluctance to resolve the matter despite several appeals by CETAG. The association highlighted the negative impacts of the strike on students, including security threats and financial burdens.
TTAG also called on all its members to prepare for the protest should CETAG’s demands remain unmet.
