GTEC Seeks Solution to CETAG Strike Amidst Ongoing Disruption
The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) is working tirelessly to resolve the ongoing CETAG strike, which has disrupted the academic calendar. In a recent conversation with Citi News, Professor Francis K. E. Nunoo, GTEC's Deputy Director General, shared his insights on the situation.
He stressed that school closures are not a feasible solution due to significant financial repercussions for institutions.
"Both closing and keeping schools open have financial implications. However, we've made substantial progress, and most of CETAG's demands are close to being met,'' Professor Nunoo pointed out.
He expressed hope for a swift resolution, saying, "We aim to finalize the outstanding issues within the next few days, enabling students to return to school.'' Despite the challenges, students are staying engaged through practical work, which requires supervision, as noted by Professor Nunoo: ''Students are actively participating in practical work, keeping them productive.''
With resolve, Professor Nunoo added, "We're optimistic that CETAG will soon see reason to end the strike. If not, we'll explore alternative solutions.''As the situation evolves, GTEC's commitment to finding a mutually beneficial solution remains clear.
