The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), has declared a strike action starting today, Monday, August 2, 2021.
Members of UTAG have been asked to withdraw all teaching and related activities on campus.
Per the directive, members of the association are to lay down their tools and stay off teaching, examinations and invigilation, marking of examination scripts and processing of results until further notice.
A statement issued by the NEC, and jointly signed by Professor Charles Marfo, the UTAG National President, and Dr Eric K. K. Abavare, the National Secretary, said members on the various campuses ought to comply with this directive.
UTAG says it’s decision to embark on the strike action is because government has refused to heed to calls by the association to improve the worsening conditions of service of the university teachers.
They added that the attitude of the representatives of government in the series of meetings held over the week suggested that the university teachers were being taken for granted.
