CETAG suspends one week strike action

The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) on Thursday suspended its one week sit- down strike action. The one week-long strike action was in protest against poor conditions of service. In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Thursday, Mr Godwin Nomo Tetteh, CETAG Treasurer, said following a meeting held on Tuesday by the National Council, the association decided to suspend its strike action. �However, CETAG still withdraws its services of making exams papers as well as the invigilating of students in their ongoing exams�, he said. Mr Nomo Tetteh called on government and other stakeholders to as a matter of urgency address the plight of CETAG members, as the situation was retarding the progress of education in the country. �The poor service condition can influence some of the teachers� to move from their field to other sectors where conditions are good and motivating�, he added. When the GNA visited the Accra college of Education, it noticed that exams was in session but the lecturers were not invigilating.
