The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has invited the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) to a meeting to address their concerns and resolve the ongoing strike.
The meeting has been scheduled for Monday, August 19, 2024, at the Ministry of Employment and Labour.
In a statement, the Commission announced key stakeholders at the meeting include the President of CETAG, the Director-General of GTEC, the President of the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF), the Director of Tertiary at the Ministry of Education, and the Head of the Public Financial Management Unit (CPMU) at the Ministry of Finance.
CETAG has been on strike on June 14, 2024, leaving trainees in Colleges of Education stranded as their academics continue to suffer.
They have cited the government’s failure to implement arbitral awards and other conditions of service for its members.
The strike has entered its second month, prompting calls for the closure of Colleges of Education.
However, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has said that no decision has been made to close the institutions.
