The Fair Wages Commission on behalf of the Ministry of Labour and Employment Relations (MLER) has extended an invitation to the Colleges of Education Teachers Association Ghana (CETAG) leadership and other interested parties to a meeting on Monday, August 19. Among other things, the gathering would address the concerns of CETAG members who have been participating in a nationwide strike for the past two months, which has caused all 46 of the nation's colleges of education to suspend their academic operations. The heads of the Public Financial Management Unit (CPMU), the Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF), the Director General of GTEC, the President of CETAG, the Ministry of Finance, and the Director Tertiary of the Ministry of Education are among the other stakeholders invited to the conference, according to a report by citinewsroom.com Background Due to the government's delay in enforcing their negotiated service conditions and the National Labour Commission's Arbitral Award, CETAG members in all 46 Colleges of Education went on strike on June 14. Among their requests are that each member receive one month's compensation for any additional work completed in 2022 and that certain allowance rates be applied to qualifying CETAG members who are enrolled in public colleges. Academic activities have come to a complete stop on all campuses of education colleges due to the deadlock, which impacts teaching and learning.
