The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has announced an indefinite strike starting Thursday, January 2, 2025, following an Emergency National Council meeting held on December 30, 2024.
In a statement issued on December 31, CETAG expressed frustration over the government’s failure to address long-standing grievances, despite prior strike notices on September 26 and December 23, 2024. The association cited the government’s continuous breach of agreements and roadmaps tied to an arbitration award issued by the National Labour Commission (NLC) on May 2, 2023, as the primary cause for the action.
“The National Council of CETAG wishes to state unequivocally that members of the union shall not under any circumstance return to the colleges to undertake any official duties, including teaching, supervision of project work, and macro-teaching, until the last pesewa is paid into our accounts,” the statement read.
CETAG emphasized that the decision aligns with Section 159 of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651), reinforcing their commitment to ensuring members’ rights and entitlements are fully met.
