The Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana (TTAG) has threatened to embark on a peaceful nationwide protest if the CETAG strike remains unresolved.

The strike, which began on June 14, 2024, is a result of the government’s delay in implementing an arbitral award and negotiated service conditions.

Despite an order by the National Labour Commission to call off the strike, CETAG remains resolute, insisting that their grievances be addressed.

The strike has resulted in a complete halt of academic and administrative activities, leaving the future of the academic calendar uncertain.

TTAG, in a statement on Thursday, July 11, 2024, has urged the government to address CETAG demands or embark on a nationwide demonstration.

According to the Association, despite several appeals by CETAG, the government is reluctant to resolve the matter. TTAG highlighted several negative impacts of the strike on students including security threats and financial burden.

The Association urged all members to prepare for the protest should CETAG demands remain unresolved.
