The Colleges of Education Teachers Association (CETAG) leadership has pledged to fight any unlawful attempts to freeze their members' salaries and will continue their indefinite strike until the government enforces the arbitral award and agrees to the negotiated service conditions.

In a press briefing in Accra, CETAG President Prince Obeng-Himang stated that the strike will persist until all unresolved issues are resolved.

"Any attempt to illegally freeze salaries would lead to legal action, as the strike is a legitimate response to the government's delay in implementing the arbitral award and negotiated service conditions," he cautioned.

CETAG insists that its ongoing strike, which started in June, is legally justified and criticizes the National Labour Commission (NLC) for disseminating false information about their actions.

The Association refutes claims that members have received their Book and Research Allowance arrears for the 2022/2023 academic year.

Since the strike began, all academic activities at Colleges of Education nationwide have been disrupted, as members protest the government's failure to implement the agreed-upon conditions.

Additionally, CETAG has denied allegations that its members are administering quizzes and tests during the strike.

They clarified that students who miss over 21 days of lectures or classes are ineligible for examinations based on affiliate universities' attendance policies.

"CETAG advises students, principals, and affiliate universities to respect this policy and warns of legal action against any violations," Obeng-Himang stated.
