The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has decided to halt their ongoing strike following the results of a voting process conducted on Sunday.

This resolution stems from the majority's plea to bring an end to the strike action. Out of the 46 colleges of Education, 32 voted in favor of suspending the strike, constituting a significant majority at 69.57%.

On the other hand, the remaining 14 colleges of Education, making up 30.43% of the voting members, opted to continue the strike.

In line with the majority's choice, CETAG has officially declared the suspension of their strike, effective from Tuesday, September 5, 2023.

This comes after the National Labour Commission (NLC) has directed the College of Education Teachers Association of Ghana to call off its strike and appear before the Commission for a hearing.

The Association failed to appear before the NLC on Wednesday, August 02, 2023, for hearing on their industrial action.

Nonetheless, CETAG has emphasized that they will closely oversee the Ministry of Education's progress in implementing all the Arbitral Awards. Should the Ministry fail to fulfill these obligations by October 31, 2023, CETAG retains the right to reassess their position and take appropriate measures.

In light of these developments, all CETAG members are expected to resume their duties no later than Thursday, September 7, 2023.

This decision to suspend the strike brings relief to many, enabling the resumption of academic activities and the restoration of normalcy in the colleges of Education.
