The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has ceased all services in protest against the government’s directive to freeze their July salaries.
On July 22, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) instructed the Controller and Accountant General’s Department to suspend the salaries of all striking CETAG members, except for the principals, for July 2024.
In response, CETAG announced on July 23 that it is withdrawing all services, including attending meetings, participating in congregation ceremonies, providing academic counselling, and supervising students in halls of residence, effective immediately.
CETAG has referred the directive to freeze their salaries to their lawyers for legal action.
GTEC has urged striking CETAG members to return to the classrooms, assuring them that their concerns are being addressed.
