The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has suspended all services in response to the government’s decision to freeze their July salaries.
This move follows a directive from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) on July 22, instructing the Controller and Accountant General’s Department to withhold the salaries of all striking CETAG members, except for the Principals.
CETAG, in a statement on July 23, declared an immediate withdrawal of services, including attendance at meetings, congregation ceremonies, academic counseling, and student supervision.
The association has labeled the salary freeze as illegal and has referred the matter to their lawyers for further action.
“In an emergency meeting of National Council, July 23, the council members took a unanimous decision to withdraw all our services,” CETAG stated.
They emphasized that their services would remain suspended until further notice.
Meanwhile, GTEC has urged CETAG members to return to the classrooms, assuring them that their concerns are being addressed.
