The nationwide strike declared by the leadership of the College of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) on Monday October 29, received the full support of CETAG branch at the St. John Bosco’s College of Education, Navrongo in the Upper East Region.

The local branch executive held a meeting on Tuesday and declared that, all its 61 members (tutors) of the college were in full support of the indefinite strike action and will only resume work if government heeds to their demands.

CETAG declared an indefinite strike over failed attempts to reach an agreement with government on a roadmap to the payment of their market premium and book and research allowances.

According to CETAG, they have engaged government on several occasions to legitimately negotiate their salaries and other conditions of service as is provided for in the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) Act 737 (2007) but these engagements have proved futile because government took an entrenched position, one which CETAG deems “unacceptable.”

After their emergency meeting at the college, Mr. Kojo Kwara, CETAG Northern Zonal Chairman who doubles as local chairman of CETAG at St. John Bosco’s College of Education in Navrongo, told A1 Radio in Bolgatanga that they were in full support of the strike and will only resume work if the government meets their demands.

According to him, with immediate effect, CETAG has withdrawn duties and responsibilities such as teaching, workshop, orientation and opening assembly programmes, staff and committee meetings, setting and marking of assignments and examinations, invigilating examinations, supervision of students’ projects, assisting in administration of department/halls of residence and supervision of students’ internships.

He however stated that, CETAG exempts from the indefinite strike, research, publication, creative work and consulting.
