President of the Association of Teacher Trainees of The Northern Sector (ATTRICONS), Akparibo Benjamin Akurugu, has expressed serious concerns about the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
He spoke on A1 Radio’s Daybreak Upper East show today.
The strike, now in its third week, has plunged teacher trainees into uncertainty and left classrooms across the country eerily quiet.
Mr. Akurugu echoed the sentiments of many affected trainees, highlighting the impact of the strike on their education journey. “It has caused a lot of disruption,” he said.
With some students forced to return home due to the indefinite pause in educational activities, anxiety mounts among the final-year trainees as their scheduled completion date of 7th September looms nearer. “We don’t know our fate,” he added.
The strike, stemming from unresolved issues between CETAG and the government, has left trainees grappling with an uncertain future. “We are suffering. We are just in pain and we need a lasting solution to this problem,” Mr. Akurugu pleaded, encapsulating the desperation felt among his peers.
The strike action revolves around salary arrears and conditions of service that CETAG argues have long been neglected.
