CETAG has agreed to call off its strike tomorrow following an agreement between government and aggrieved CETAG members. Meanwhile, government has agreed to pay the July and August salaries of CETAG at the end of this month. CETAG has been on strike for seven weeks demanding conclusive discussion on their conditions of service. A major issue CETAG raised included upgraded to a university status. After more than three hours of meeting, the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffour Awuah expressed government's commitment to resolve the strike.
"I am happy to inform the general public that we have made very significant progress, and I want to believe most likely that after tomorrow the teachers will return to school after they have had consultation with their constituents.
"I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped to resolve this issue, especially his Excellency the President for his commitment to ensuring this issue is resolved, the office of his Excellency the Vice President who also intervened to get the issue resolved," Mr Baffour-Awuah said.
