Academic activities are yet to resume on campuses of the colleges of education in the Ashanti region.
This follows a decision by members of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association Ghana (CETAG) to call off a 2-month strike after reaching an agreement with the government over the implementation of the compulsory arbitral agreements.
However, many students who left campus are yet to return to school after the industrial action was shelved.
JoyNews' Emmanuel Bright Quaicoe reports that the teacher trainees are calling for an extension of the academic calendar to make up for the lost time.
Listen to the full report:
Background
On June 14, teachers in the various colleges of education laid down their tools, demanding better working conditions and remuneration packages.
This was in response to the government’s delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions.
CETAG's demands include the payment of one month’s salary to each member for additional duties performed in 2022, and the application of agreed rates of allowances payable to public universities to deserving CETAG members.
This strike affected 46 public colleges nationwide.
