The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has directed striking teachers of Colleges of Education to call off their indefinite strike pending a resolution of their demands.
At an emergency meeting called at the behest of the commission and attended by representatives from the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF), the Finance Ministry, Controller and Accountant General's Department and CETAG executives, Director General of GTEC, Prof Abdulai Jinapor said the core issue of migrating the teachers pay structure onto universities pay level has been resolved.
The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) withdrew all services in the 46 Colleges of Education following the government's failure to honour the National Labour Commission's Compulsory Arbitration award agreed upon by all the parties.
This award mandated key actions, including the migration of teaching staff in colleges of education onto the pay structure of their affiliate universities, a process that remains incomplete after 20 months.
