The University of Ghana has postponed the commencement of the 2024/2025 academic year following an ongoing strike by several tertiary employee unions.
A statement issued by the Office of the Registrar on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, confirmed the delay, informing students and stakeholders of the decision, which affects the entire academic community.
While the strike continues, the university clarified that special programmes will proceed as planned.
However, a new start date for the general academic year will be communicated once the situation stabilizes.
The postponement stems from unresolved disputes between government and key unions, including the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU), the Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), and the Federation of University Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG).
These unions have been on an indefinite strike over long-standing demands for improved working conditions.
Their concerns range from delayed pension contributions and non-payment of vehicle maintenance allowances to the suspension of certain agreed-upon allowances.
