Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana
(CCT-G) has hinted of embarking on strike action over what they describe as
government’s refusal to renew their conditions of service, transfer grants and
incremental credits.
National President for the
Coalition, Ernest Opoku on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen Thursday, said conditions of
service for teachers has expired and several calls on government to renew the
conditions of service have fallen on deaf ears.
Ernest Opoku could not fathom why
government has taken teachers for granted when in fact their demand is in
accordance with a ruling by the National Labour Commission.
“The ruling from the National Labour
Commission was that the issue of incremental credit is supposed to be paid and
we are sure that 2015 budget has some portions of salary arrears that is due
teachers and therefore we think that the money has to be paid,” he stated.
He continued that “we have written
petitions on several occasions but still nothing has been done. As I speak to
you teachers in this country don’t have conditions of service and also have not
been paid our outstanding arrears for the past two years.
Ernest Opoku indicated that most
schools in the country lacks logistics such as chalk and assessment books which
he said impedes teaching and learning.
He therefore sent a strong signal to
government to as a matter of urgency take into consideration their demands
before September 17 when school resumes or face their wrath.
“We are tired of always being taken
for granted for long and so from now till 17th September we will
have no option than to strike if our demands are not met” he insisted.
