Academic activities in Colleges of Education have come to a standstill as the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) continues its strike in defiance of directives from the Fair Wages and Salary Commission (FWSC) to resume work.
This strike has resulted in a complete cessation of both academic and administrative functions, casting uncertainty over the future of the academic calendar.
On Friday, June 14, 2024, CETAG declared an indefinite strike in response to the government’s delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions.
In response, the FWSC ordered CETAG to call off its industrial action immediately.
The Commission described CETAG’s decision to strike at such a crucial moment as an act of bad faith, given the government’s efforts to address their concerns.
However, CETAG served notice that it would not comply with the directive issued by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to terminate its ongoing strike and challenged the FWSC to initiate legal proceedings if it intended to enforce government compliance with its duties.
Some students who spoke to Citi News pleaded with the lecturers to return to the classroom as the strike is taking a toll on their education.
