The College of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has announced an indefinite strike due to the government’s failure to implement the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and Negotiated Service Conditions.
CETAG said in a press release on June 14, 2024, that the strike takes effect immediately in compliance with its economic rights under Article 24(1) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana and Section 10 (a) and (b) of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651).
According to the release, all members have been directed to suspend all teaching and related activities indefinitely until their grievances are fully addressed.
“CETAG wishes to call on every member to immediately comply with this declaration by withdrawing teaching and related services indefinitely across all 46 Public colleges of education until all the orders arising from the Compulsory Arbitration Awards and related concerns are fully implemented by way of payments to our members and implementations thereof. Thank you,” it said.

The strike, which affects all 46 public colleges of education across Ghana, seeks to pressure the government to address CETAG’s outstanding demands.
Their grievances include the payment of a one-month salary bonus to each member for extra duties performed in 2022 and the application of agreed-upon allowance rates, currently enjoyed by public universities, to eligible CETAG members.
