CETAG withdraws services in response to gov't's salary freeze directive
The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has announced the withdrawal of all its services following the government's directive to freeze their July salaries.
This decision comes after the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) instructed the Controller and Accountant General’s Department on July 22 to suspend the salaries of all striking CETAG members, except for the Principals, for July 2024.
In response, CETAG issued a statement on Tuesday, July 23, declaring the immediate cessation of all services.
The statement read, "In an emergency meeting of National Council, July 23, the council members took a unanimous decision to withdraw all our services including attendance to meetings, congregation ceremonies, provision of academic counselling services, as well as supervision of students in the halls of residence with immediate effect until further notice."
CETAG has referred the directive to freeze their July salaries to their lawyers for necessary legal actions.
Meanwhile, GTEC has urged the striking CETAG members to return to the classrooms, assuring them that their concerns are being addressed.
