The University of Ghana chapter of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has indicated that, it is inappropriate for them to resume academic work only to break after few days.
In a letter addressed to the Registrar of the University, signed by Professor Ransford E.V Gyampo (UG-UTAG Secretary), the membership has two reasons for rejecting the call.
Firstly, it mentioned the mass rejection of the decision of the National Executive Council (NEC) of UTAG to suspend the strike by majority of public universities in Ghana.

According to the letter, this makes it not prudent to commence teaching for few days, only to resume the strike again, given the toll this may likely impose on students and parents.
Secondly, the UG-UTAG mentioned the trust deficit between UTAG and Government as another reason for declining the call to resume academic work.
The membership indicated that, it is their preference to see the outcome of the talks/engagements initiated by the government to resolve the impasse before they return to the classroom.
