The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) recently released a statement expressing their disappointment with the Ghanaian Government.


 CETAG says that the Government has not honored its agreements with them, which were made on July 24 and August 19, 2024. 


These agreements were meant to improve the salary structure of CETAG members to match that of public university staff by the end of October 2024.


In August 2024, CETAG members went on a two-month strike to demand fair treatment. They returned to work after the Government assured them that their concerns would be addressed.

However, CETAG members are frustrated that the Government has not followed through on its promises, despite the numerous meetings and appeals. They feel that this lack of action shows disrespect to teachers who are dedicated to training future educators in Ghana.


CETAG also reminded the public that, back in 2022, the National Labour Commission (NLC) recommended that CETAG members should receive additional pay for extra work. Although the Government agreed, CETAG members still have not received this payment. 


They are also disappointed that promises made by the Minister for Education, Minister for Employment and Labour Relations, and the Senior Advisor to the Vice President have not been fulfilled.


CETAG is urging the Government to take their concerns seriously. The association emphasized that they will no longer wait patiently while the Government disregards their needs. They have resolved to take action, as it is clear that the Government does not prioritize their welfare.
