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 of Ghana's education sector.
_Signed,_
Sallah Emmanuel

Sadly, after CETAG called off the strike in January 2022, the FWSC continued to deliberately delay the negotiations which led to another strike action by CETAG in December 2022. 6. On 7th December, 2022, the Hon. Minister...
