The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has appealed to the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) to call off its indefinite strike, assuring that the government will resolve their outstanding concerns within two weeks.
CETAG declared the nationwide strike on Monday, November 24, citing the government’s failure to fully implement the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) arbitral award issued on May 2, 2023.
The strike affects all 46 Colleges of Education across the country.
Addressing journalists after a meeting with CETAG leadership on Tuesday, November 25, the Minister said the government is committed to addressing the long-standing issues and urged the association to consult its members to head to the request.
