TTAG President Sparks Outrage with Unequal Donations to Colleges of Education In what has become a controversial move, the President of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has come under heavy criticism following his recent donation to Peki College of Education. According to students and concerned observers, the TTAG President presented a single dustbin to the entire college — a gesture many have described as disrespectful and belittling. What has fueled the anger even more is the discovery that the same TTAG President, in other recent visits to different Colleges of Education, donated modernized pulpits and other meaningful educational resources. This unequal treatment has not sat well with students of Peki College, who feel sidelined and disrespected by the leadership of an association that is supposed to represent all teacher trainees equally. Some students took to social media to express their disappointment, asking hard questions such as: “Is a dustbin the only t...

As a concerned member of the College of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG), I demand an unconditional apology and withdrawal of the letter from the Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana (TTAG) requesting CETAG members to return to the lecture halls amidst our ongoing strike action. TTAG's letter is a blatant disregard for our rights and undermines our legitimate demands for better working conditions, fair compensation, and a conducive learning environment. Their actions are divisive and aim to break our resolve. We will not be swayed or intimidated. We demand respect and solidarity from our fellow education stakeholders, including TTAG. I call on TTAG to: 1. Apologize unconditionally for their letter 2. Withdraw their letter immediately 3. Publicly declare their support for CETAG's demands 4. Join us in demanding meaningful dialogue with the government to address our grievances Anything less would be a betrayal of our shared interests and the future o...

As a concerned student of Peki College of Education, I humbly ask: What specific action does TTAG expect CETAG to take in addressing the ongoing issues regarding teachers' incentives and the impact on students' education?   I think this is the time we need TTAG to rather address the government than adressing CETAG. TTAG should  protest for the government to pay our lecturers their rightful incentive rather than appealing to CETAG as if they are the ones at fault. Nevertherless I am not trying to be bias.  Imagine if it were to be any other profession that threatened the government with strike, government will not hesitate to settle them but when it comes to teachers, the government will be playing back and forth game with them. The fact that this strike took this long means that first the government does not have any or little regard for the teachers and secondly,  the government does not care about us the students if not,  the government would have s...

  Members and leadership of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) remain defiant despite threats of salary freezes by their employers . In an interview on JoyNews, a member of CETAG’s national communications team, Fedilis Kamaayi said they remain resolute in their over six-week strike in demand of better conditions of service.   According to him, CETAG members were aware that freezing salaries was one of the strategies the employers were going to deploy to get them to call off their strike, therefore they were prepared for it. “When the directive was issued, it has even motivated and gingered most of our tutors and they are saying that they should even take the August salary in addition because until all the arbitrary awards are implemented, they can go ahead and continue to freeze the salaries,” he said. Mr Kamaayi added that the members have psyched themselves for what is to happen next. His comments follow the Minister of Edu...
