Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) directs the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) to cease July 2024 salary of Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) members.
According to an official letter sighted by Coverghana.com.gh which dates July 22, 2024 and signed by Nicholas Ameyaw (Head IPPD) for Professor Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, Director General of GTEC, the Commission directed the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) to cease the salaries of all teaching staff of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) members excluding the College Principals.
Per the intercepted letter, the Commission stated that its call for the stoppage of the salary is due to the non-adherence of CETAG members to call off an illegal strike from June 2024.
“At the instance of the Minister of Education on the non-adherence of CETAG members to call off an illegal strike from June 2024, you are by this letter requested to stop the salaries of all teaching staff of the Colleges of Education (CETAG) except for the College Principals for July 2024.”
“By this letter, College Principals are not to validate the July 2024 salaries of all teaching staff. We count on your usual co-operation.”
