TTAG Demands Government Action, Not Just Promises, to End CETAG Strike

The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has urged the government to take prompt action in resolving the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).

CETAG Strike Continues as Government Fails to Honor Agreement

Despite reaching a deal with employers, CETAG claims the government has not signed off, rendering the agreement invalid. CETAG President Prince Obeng-Himang vows to sustain the industrial action until the government fulfills its commitment.

In a press conference on July 29, a TTAG representative expressed dismay and frustration,

citing the government's inaction as a broken promise. The representative questioned why the government has not taken concrete steps to resolve the issue, despite earlier assurances.

“Government has been assuring us of action. Now, we don’t need any assurance. All we need is action to solve this strike,” the representative emphasised.

TTAG called on the government to immediately sign the Memorandum of Understanding to enable teachers to resume their duties by Tuesday, July 29, 2024.

The association highlighted the urgency of the situation and the need for a swift resolution to prevent further disruptions in the education sector.

On June 14, teachers in various colleges of education laid down their tools to demand better working conditions and remuneration packages.

This action was a response to the association says is government’s delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions.

The demands by CETAG include the payment of one month’s salary to each member for additional duties performed in 2022, and the application of agreed rates of allowances payable to public universities to deserving CETAG members.

CETAG Agreement with Employers in Limbo as Government Refuses to Sign The industrial action by CETAG has stretched into its 7th week, as the government's failure to sign the agreed-upon deal with employers has led to a standoff. Despite GTEC's orders and the freezing of their July pay, CETAG members continue their strike, demanding government action to formalize the agreement.

Equity or optics ? Govco's Dustbin Vrs TTAG's Modernized Pulpit

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.
