The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) is scheduled to meet with its national council on Thursday, July 25, to decide whether to end its ongoing strike. 

The strike, which has lasted over a month, was initiated in response to the government’s failure to implement the National Labour Commission’s Arbitral Award Orders, aimed at improving working conditions for teachers.

Recent discussions between CETAG and the government have led to significant agreements. 

These agreements are seen as steps towards resolving the issues that led to the strike. 

CETAG President, Prince Obeng Himah, emphasised that while progress has been made, a final decision regarding the strike will be determined after Thursday’s national council meeting. 

The outcome of this meeting will be crucial in deciding whether the teachers will resume work or continue with the strike action, pending the full implementation of the agreed terms.

“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.
