The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) suspended all services in response to the government’s decision to withhold their July salary.
CETAG stated that this action followed the Minister of Education’s directive to principals and the Controller and Accountant General to withhold the July 2024 salaries for teaching staff at the 46 public colleges of education due to their ongoing strike.
On July 23, CETAG’s leadership announced that they had referred this unlawful directive to their lawyers for immediate action.
The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) instructed the Controller and Accountant General to freeze CETAG’s July salaries after declaring their strike illegal.
GTEC’s Director General, Prof. Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, directed the Controller and Accountant General to halt the salaries of all CETAG teaching staff, except college principals, for July 2024, because they failed to end the strike.
CETAG started an indefinite strike on June 14, 2024, and urged members to stop teaching and related services until they resolved their grievances.
