The Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) has made a plea to the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) to halt their ongoing strike action and resume work by Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
This appeal comes after the government’s assurance to implement the conditions of service demanded by CETAG.
CETAG members across all 46 Colleges of Education in the country have been on strike since June 14, citing the government’s initial reluctance to fulfill their arbitral award and conditions of service.
Despite the strike, the government has engaged in discussions with CETAG and has committed to implementing their demands.
In light of this development, PRINCOF has urged CETAG to consider calling off the strike.
In a statement released on Monday, August 5, 2024, PRINCOF acknowledged that the government has begun taking steps to meet CETAG’s conditions, such as the payment of the Book and Research Top-Up Allowance, processing of the All-Year-Round Allowance, and transitioning staff to the universities’ salary structure.
