Striking CETAG members withdraw all services after govt withholds salaries
Leadership of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has directed members to withdraw all services following the decision by government to freeze their July salary.
These services include attendance of meetings and congregation ceremonies, provision of academic counselling as well as supervision of students in their halls of residence.
According to CETAG, the decision is in response to the Minister of Education’s directive to Principals and the Controller and Accountant General not to validate the July 2024 salaries of teaching staff of the 46 public colleges of education due to their ongoing strike.
CETAG in a statement dated July 23 added said “Leadership has referred the illegal directive to freeze our July salaries to our lawyers to take the necessary action on it immediately.”
