The Teacher Trainees' Association of Ghana (TTAG) has strongly advised all teacher trainees, particularly Level 400 students, to remain at home despite the newly adjusted reopening date for colleges of education, January 27, 2025. This directive comes in solidarity with teachers who are demanding urgent government intervention to resolve the ongoing challenges facing colleges of education.
In a recent statement, TTAG expressed concern over the persistent strike actions that have disrupted the academic calendar of colleges of education nationwide. The association called on the government and relevant stakeholders to address the concerns of tutors, whose demands for improved conditions of service remain unresolved.
According to TTAG, the current situation has created uncertainty for academic activities, which impacts teacher trainees, especially Level 400 students preparing for their final year. TTAG emphasized that without addressing these systemic issues, the reopening of colleges may only lead to further disruptions in the future.
“We strongly advise that all Teacher Trainees, including Level 400 Teacher Trainees, stay at home in solidarity with our Teachers until the Government addresses their demands for academic work to continue seamlessly without any future strikes,” the statement read.
