The leadership of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has announced that it will call off its nationwide strike this week.
On Monday, August 19, 2024, the association indicated that it had reached an agreement with the Fair Wages Commission and the Ministry of Labour and Employment Relations (MLER).
In the meeting, it was agreed that members of the association in all 46 public colleges would receive their July and August salaries.
“I am appending my signature to signify the fact that I am committed or the government team is committed to that which we have agreed to in this document,” Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah said.
The leadership of the CETAG noted that “On behalf of over 2,000 members of CETAG, I also want to assure the media and all that are here that CETAG is also committed to what has been put on this paper and therefore I wish to sign.”
On June 14, 2024, teachers across the colleges of education laid down their tools, demanding better conditions of service.
