Ghana Government Pays Off Research and Book Allowances to End CETAG Strike

The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has announced that the government has paid all outstanding research and book allowances to members of the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG). Apexnewsgh reports This move aims to end the strike action by CETAG, which has affected educational activities in the institutions. According to Professor Ahmed Jinapor, Director-General of GTEC, a total of GHS 199 million has been paid to settle the allowances. Staff from all 46 Colleges of Education will be placed on the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) scheme to ensure their financial stability and contribution to teaching and learning. The payment of allowances was announced at the investiture of Professor Prince Boateng as the substantive Principal of Ada College of Education. Professor Boateng has pledged to bring a facelift to the school, including constructing a fence wall, providing entrepreneurial seminars, and introducing a water packaging plant to increase internally generated funds. The investiture ceremony coincided with the 15th congregation of the institution, where 248 students graduated. The Member of Parliament for Ada East Constituency, Honourable Comfort Doyoe Kudzo, donated GHS 20,000 and other logistics to support the college’s preparations for its 60th anniversary in 2025. The settlement of allowances is expected to enhance teaching and learning in the colleges, and staff can access the funds from Monday, July 15, 2024, through GIFMIS.
