The Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has officially suspended its strike action with immediate effect.
In a memorandum dated 14th February 2026, the National Council of CETAG announced that the decision was unanimously taken during a meeting held between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.
The strike, which was initially declared on 24th November 2025, has been called off following the government’s release of funds to settle key outstanding entitlements owed to members.
Payments Facilitating the Suspension
According to the statement, the government has released funds to cover:
- All Year-Round Work Compensation
- 2023/2024 Book and Research Allowance arrears
- 2022 Research Top-Up Allowance for Akrokerri College of Education
The National Council described the development as a significant step toward addressing long-standing concerns raised by members of the association.
Outstanding Issues Still Under Review
Despite suspending the strike, CETAG noted that two additional matters remain unresolved. These include:
- Issues concerning downgraded staff
- Outstanding 2023 Book and Research Allowance arrears
The association indicated that these matters are currently before the National Labour Commission (NLC) for resolution. CETAG leadership expressed confidence that the Commission will expedite action to ensure a timely conclusion.
Appeal to Members
In light of the progress made and in the spirit of good faith, CETAG has appealed to all members to resume their official duties while leadership continues to pursue the remaining concerns to their logical conclusion.
The memorandum was issued by the National Council of CETAG, reaffirming its commitment to safeguarding the welfare and professional interests of teachers in Ghana’s Colleges of Education.
