Agogo Presbyterian College of Education is one of 46 in Ghana
The Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education-Ghana (PRINCOF) is yet to decide on whether or not to close down the colleges. Teachers at the Colleges of Education have been on strike for two months over conditions of service, forcing the Teacher Trainees' Association of Ghana (TTAG) to call for closure of the colleges. On June 14, teachers of all the 46 Colleges of Education embarked on a nationwide strike to demand implementation of the arbitral award and conditions of service by the National Labour Commission. They are also demanding the migration of staff onto the University payroll structure, the payment of the All-Year-Round allowance for 2022, and the Book and Research Top-Up allowances. Meetings were held to iron out issues and get the teachers back to the classrooms, but to no avail.
