According to the Teacher Trainee Association of Ghana, the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAGmass )’s left has left students frustrated.
The association bemoans the fact that final-year students, who have only four weeks to finish school, are living in fear.
After working for a year without a break, CETAG took a mass leave on September 1, 2022.
Sumaila Musah, the National Secretary of the Teacher Trainee Association of Ghana, appealed to the appropriate authorities in an interview with Citi News.

“We began by alerting the stakeholders – GTEC, PRINCOF, and then the other bodies, including the Ministry of Education – to the concerns raised by CETAG so that the issues could be addressed as soon as possible.” But, as students or leaders, we have little else to do in this situation except beg the stakeholders to listen to our tutors.”
According to CETAG, the implementation of the new academic calendar, which requires teachers to work an entire year without a break, compelled them to make such a decision.
On September 1, 2022, teachers in all 46 public Colleges of Education that are members of CETAG went on a 28-day annual leave, with an expected return date of October 10.
They are also demanding full-service conditions and other compensation packages.
A meeting between the Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) and CETAG on the mass leave of tutors ended inconclusively on Tuesday, September 13, 2022.
