The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has directed the Controller and Accountants General to freeze the July salary of members of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
This was after the government described the strike by CETAG as illegal.
A letter written to the CAGD by the Director General of GTEC Prof Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai said “At the instance of the Minister of Education on the non-adherence of CETAG members to call off an illegal strike from June 2024, you are by this letter requested to stop the salaries of all teaching staff of the Colleges of Education (CETAG) except for the College Principals for July 2024.
“By this letter, College Principals are not to validate the July 2024 salaries of all teaching staff.”
The leadership of CETAG announced an indefinite strike that started Friday, June 14, 2024.
The strike was to register their grievance over the government’s delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions.
“CETAG wishes to call on every member to immediately comply with this declaration by withdrawing teaching and related services indefinitely across all 46 Public colleges of education until all the orders arising from the Compulsory Arbitration Awards and related concerns are fully implemented by way of payments to our members and implementations thereof. Thank you.”
