The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) is set to meet its national council on Thursday, July 25, to finalise its decision on whether to end its ongoing strike.
This follows recent discussions between CETAG and the government, prompted by a strike that has lasted over a month. The strike was in response to the government’s failure to implement the National Labour Commission's Arbitral Award Orders, which are intended to improve the working conditions for teachers.
CETAG President, Prince Obeng Himah mentioned that while significant agreements have been reached, a final decision will be made after Thursday’s national council meeting.
“We have had a series of discussions, we have had a significant progress, a lot of proposals have been put on the table. We’re going to touch base with our members.
“What I can say for now is that we have made a lot of significant progress based on the proposals that have been put on the table,” the President of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana stated.

It's good to negotiate for things that will help you at the end of the day, using the existing structures, but you shouldn't resort to strike for your demands, sitting at home for months, and still expect to receive salaries at the end of the month when you aren't being productive for the course of the salaries: leaving students stranded, other support staff frustrated and the state having to keep commitments to all.
