Prof. Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, Acting Director General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), has voiced his concerns about the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG), highlighting its detrimental effect on the country’s tertiary education system.
Since June 14, CETAG members across all 46 Colleges of Education in Ghana have been on strike. This action follows the government’s failure to implement their arbitral award and conditions of service, resulting in students being forced to leave their campuses.
During an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s ‘Face to Face’ program, Prof. Abdulai remarked, “This continual strike by CETAG does not augur well for the educational tertiary architecture that we hope for.”
Prof. Abdulai urged CETAG to reconsider their strike actions, emphasizing that such disruptions harm the reputation of the institutions. “I will plead with them that look we cannot continue to bastardise our institutions in this manner of continual perennial strikes because the more you go on strike the more you make your institutions unattractive,” he stated.
