The leadership of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) says that while its members are willing to discuss how to recover lost instructional hours following their strike, they are not prepared to work beyond the legally mandated hours. CETAG embarked on a two-month-long strike, which lasted from June 14 to August 20, 2024, demanding conclusive discussions on their conditions of service that had been delayed for months. After a successful discussion between the aggrieved teachers, the National Labour Commission, and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission last Monday, CETAG called off its strike on Tuesday, August 20. After calling off the strike, it became clear that the lost instructional hours during the period had to be recovered, but the teachers seemed unwilling to work beyond their legally mandated teaching hours. CETAG's national president, Prince Obeng-Himah, emphasized that while the association is open to discussions on recovering lost time, the teachers will not agree to work beyond the usual class hours. "Some time ago, when it happened, we were compelled to teach up to 9 p.m., 10 p.m., then we started teaching the following day at 5 a.m.
