Executives of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) have asked all training colleges and tertiary institutions to withhold their mandatory mid- and end-of-semester examinations due to the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) strike.
CETAG laid down their tools on November 14, 2022, over “non-finalisation of Conditions of Service (CoS) negotiations, unilateral determination of April 2023 by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) as the effective date for placing First Degree Holders of CENTSAG on 17H on the SSSS, and undue delay by the Ministry of Education in responding to our request for payment of compensation.”
According to the trainees at the various colleges, this has affected their studies since most of the tutors could not complete their syllabus before CETAG’s indefinite strike.
Other institutions, like the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) and the University for Development Studies (UDS), have served a notice to all the lecturers to suspend the mid and end-of-semester examinations till further notice.
In a letter signed by TTAG President Jonathan Dzunu and TTAG General Secretary Musah Sumaila on Wednesday, November 30, 2022, the association appealed to other training colleges to emulate the same action by the aforementioned training institutions.
TTAG has called on the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF), and other concerned members to address the matter to enable the trainees to complete their courses successfully.
