The National Labour Commission (NLC) says government must fulfil its part of the negotiated conditions of service agreement reached with members of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
This follows a meeting between the two parties and the Commission on Wednesday.
Since August 1, 2023, members of CETAG from all 46 training colleges have been on strike, citing the failure of government to adhere to the NLC’s Arbitral Award Orders and the negotiated conditions of service reached on May 2, 2023.

Speaking to the media, the Executive Secretary of the commission, Ofosu Asamoah said the speedy implementation of the demands by CETAG will ensure that CETAG members return to post.
“The commission realised that the complainant, in this case, the government, has not fully complied with the directives of the commission. So they have been directed to implement fully with what the commission’s directives were, as in the payments of the monies that are due them,” he said.
Background
CETAG embarked on an indefinite strike to push the government to redeem its promise of implementing their negotiated conditions of service.
