The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has emerged from their council meeting with a united front, reaffirming their commitment to the ongoing strike. Despite reaching an agreement with the government, CETAG members have unanimously decided to persist with the industrial action until their demands are fully met. This decision is a testament to the association's collective resolve and determination to fight for their rights.
The strike, now in its seventh week, has already caused significant disruptions to students in colleges of education across the country. The impact is being felt far and wide, with many students worrying about the consequences of the prolonged strike on their academic calendar. However, CETAG's unwavering stance demonstrates their dedication to improving teachers' working conditions and ensuring a fair payment system.
In a statement, CETAG announced that they will formally communicate their position to the employer and all stakeholders, underscoring their commitment to transparency. This move highlights the association's determination to have their concerns heard and addressed, leaving no stone unturned in their quest for justice.
The agreement reached with the government, while a step in the right direction, has clearly not gone far enough in addressing the concerns of CETAG members. The association is demanding a comprehensive resolution to the payment system issues, and they will not settle for anything less.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: CETAG will not back down until their demands are met. The association's leadership has shown remarkable courage and conviction in the face of adversity, inspiring their members to stand firm.
The implications of this strike extend far beyond the colleges of education. It is a wake-up call for the government and other stakeholders to take the welfare of teachers seriously. The future of Ghana's education system depends on it.
