The leadership of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has stated that they are ready to help students recover the instructional hours lost during the two-month strike but will not work beyond their regular hours.
In a social media post, the association said “Some time ago, when it happened, we were compelled to teach up to 9 pm, 10 pm, then we started teaching the following day at 5 am. We are not prepared to go along that tangent. We will teach normally” the leadership said.
According to them, they embarked on a legal strike, which justifies their decision to work only during their regular hours.
“It was not through any fault of ours because it is on record that ours is the only legal strike that Ghana has seen where we have gone on strike for two solid months and the National Labour Commission has not been able to pronounce it illegal”.
They added that “They have failed in their attempt to secure court injunctions to stop us and all of that. So we did not fault in any way. So if we are looking at Ghana in the face to say that we have called it off, there is no way anybody should impose anything that will put our health and what have you under pressure.”
