The leadership of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association (CETAG) has announced their intention to withdraw services from all 46 public colleges of education starting from Tuesday, August 1, 2023.

CETAG has given the government a deadline of July 31, 2023, to implement the negotiated allowances.

“Together with the one-off payment of one month’s basic salary based on CETAG’s salary grade as compensation for additional duty performed in 2022 payable to tutors per the NLC’s Arbitral Award ORDER given on 2nd May 2023,” the National President of CETAG, Mr. Prince Obeng-Himan stated in a press release dated July 10, 2023.

The decision of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association (CETAG) to withdraw services was driven by what they perceive as intentionally prolonged negotiations by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) regarding their condition of service.
