Ashanti Region: Students at Colleges of Education abandon campuses over teachers’ strike

Students at some Colleges of Education in the Ashanti Region have begun leaving campuses for their houses following the strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).

The students who are supposed to write exams within this period are worried that the strike will have an adverse effect on them if it is not addressed as early as possible, as the academic calendar could be affected.

The students have thus reiterated calls for the government to address the concerns of their teachers.

The level 3 students are left with about two weeks to write their exams.

Another student also complained, “Actually, the strike is affecting us, especially the level 400 and 100 students

Most of the level 300 students have gone home

This strike has affected their studies, and some have to go to the classrooms to have their own discussions.”
