Management of the Ghana Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has said its Teaching and Non-Teaching staff are not on strike.

He added: “Consequently, we have decided to embark on strike from today, Monday 4 July 2022. By this, we are informing the general public that we are withdrawing services in all the pre-tertiary education institutions. This includes teaching and non-teaching staff.”
