The Acting Director General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Professor Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, has expressed concerns about the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
He noted that, the strike is detrimental to the country’s tertiary education system.
CETAG members from all 46 Colleges of Education have been on strike since June 14, protesting the government’s failure to implement their arbitral award and conditions of service. This situation has led to students vacating the campuses.
“This continual strike by CETAG does not augur well for the educational tertiary architecture that we hope for,” Prof Abdulai said in an interview on Channel One TV.
The Acting Director General of GTEC urged CETAG to reconsider their strike action, emphasizing that it tarnishes the reputation of the institutions.
“I will plead with them that, 'look we cannot continue to bastardise our institutions in this manner of continual perennial strikes because the more you go on strike the more you make your institutions unattractive',” he stated.
