The Commission characterized CETAG’s choice to strike at this critical juncture as a breach of trust, considering the government’s endeavors to resolve their grievances.
On Friday, June 14, 2024, CETAG announced an indefinite strike due to the government’s postponement in executing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and agreed-upon service conditions.

But addressing the audience in Accra on Friday, Benjamin Arthur, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the FWSC, remarked, “Government has demonstrated goodwill towards this because we believe that it is mutually beneficial, and it will benefit this country that at least we do something for our colleagues who are teaching in the colleges of Education. The government means well.”
“So we are calling on them to go back to the classroom to go and teach. This strike is out of bad faith.”
Additionally, Professor Samuel Atintono, President of the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education, conveyed his disappointment regarding the teachers’ choice to go on strike.
