CETAG To Meet On Nationwide Strike

The National Council of the Collages of Education Teachers Association of Ghana will be holding an emergency meeting in Kumasi later today to take a final decision on their nationwide strike. The meeting has become necessary following a declaration by the National Labour Commission describing the action by CETAG as illegal and prematured. This was on the grounds that CETAG did not go through the right channel in calling for a strike. The Commission therefore asked the teachers to call off the strike and go back to the lecture rooms. A source from CETAG says delegates including Zonal and local chairman have started arriving at the St. Louise College of Education. The Teachers who have been on strike since last week, are displeased about what they say is the seemingly slow pace at which the National Council for Tertiary Education and the Ghana Education Service Council, have been working to finalise their Draft Harmonisation Schemes of Service, Statues and Condition of the colleges.
