The five-week strike by the Ghanaian College of Education Teachers' Association has been immediately suspended.

Following a majority decision by the association's local chapters to end their strike, the Education Minister promised to address their issues within two weeks of the strike's suspension.

Nineteen of the 35 universities that cast online ballots decided to call off the strike, but would resume if their unresolved issues are not addressed as promised. This represents the majority of the 35 colleges.

The remaining 16 cast ballots to prolong the strike until their welfare demands were satisfied.

However, eleven of the teacher preparation programs chose not to cast a ballot.

On Monday, December 19, 2022, instructors at the 46 colleges of education around the country are anticipated to report for duty.

The national president of the group, Prince Himah, promised members in a letter that the leadership was determined to negotiate better working conditions.

“Leadership promise to go to all length so that CETAG will get the best out of the engagement that is going to ensue as we suspend our destiny strike today, hoping the Minister and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission shall take the necessary steps as promised to bring finality to bear on all the unresolved issues of CETAG,” portions of the statement read.
