The ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has disrupted academic work, with Prof. Samuel Atintono, President of the Principals of Colleges of Education, urging members to maintain confidence in government.
CETAG has been on strike since November 24, 2025, protesting the government’s failure to fully implement the National Labour Commission (NLC) arbitral award issued on May 2, 2023.
The strike, affecting all 46 Colleges of Education nationwide, is driven by grievances including non-payment of all-year-round work compensation and outstanding Book and Research Allowance arrears.
The government has been urged to act swiftly and in good faith to resolve the disputes. CETAG remains committed to quality teacher education and will not tolerate further exploitation or disrespect.
Students have taken initiative in their learning, with resources available online to support their studies. The impact of the strike on the academic calendar remains uncertain, with concerns over potential delays.
The government is yet to meet CETAG’s demands, with talks ongoing to resolve the impasse.
