"We need TTAG to rather address the government than adressing CETAG" - Tornyegbedo Emmanuel



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 sort things out with CETAG long ago.

Can we even begin to comprehend the struggles of students who toil to scrape together their semester provisions, only to face the looming specter of a restart? The whispers of a fresh start spread like wildfire, leaving us bewildered and desperate. In a Ghana where the cost of living has skyrocketed, where every cedi counts, and every sacrifice is a testament to our resilience, we find ourselves at the mercy of uncertainty.

To crown it, we should not forget as teacher trainees that we will also face this   predicament one day if things are not settled properly this time round 

 
TTAG should find a way to communicate with the government for the right thing to be done not to be addressing CETAG all the time.

 
I come in peace and I rest my case.
Thank you.

"I demand an unconditional apology and withdrawal of the TTAG's letter" - Sallah Emmanuel

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...
