The National Secretariat of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has advised all teacher trainees across the country to remain at home following the continuation of industrial action by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
The directive follows a recent notice issued by the National Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) and comes amid the absence of a resolution to the ongoing strike, which has disrupted teaching and learning in the public colleges of education.
In a press release, TTAG stated that teacher trainees should stay away from campus until the strike action is officially called off and academic work fully resumes.
“The National Secretariat of TTAG hereby advises all teacher trainees to remain at home until the strike action is officially called off and teaching and learning fully resume,” the statement said.
The Association assured its members that it is actively engaging with relevant authorities and key stakeholders to ensure a lasting solution to the issues that triggered the industrial action.
“Leadership remains actively engaged with the relevant authorities and stakeholders and is firmly committed to pursuing a permanent and sustainable resolution to the issues underlying the strike until normal academic activities are restored,” TTAG noted.
Level 400 macro-teaching to continue
Addressing concerns surrounding Level 400 teacher trainees currently undertaking their macro-teaching, TTAG indicated that it is working closely with PRINCOF to ensure that the programme is not adversely affected by the strike.
According to the Association, the approved duration of the macro-teaching exercise remains intact, and there is confidence that the ongoing industrial action will not disrupt it.
“TTAG strongly believes the ongoing strike will not affect the macro-teaching,” the statement said.
However, the Association explained that should the strike extend beyond 9 February 2026, a final decision would be taken after that date in consultation with the appropriate authorities.
Until then, Level 400 teacher trainees have been encouraged to continue with their macro-teaching and to rely solely on official communication from TTAG for guidance.
Call for calm and solidarity
TTAG further urged all teacher trainees to remain calm and resolute as efforts continue to resolve the impasse.
“All teacher trainees are therefore urged to remain steadfast during this period while awaiting further official communication from the Association,” the statement added.
Reaffirming its commitment to the welfare of trainees, TTAG pledged to continue advocating on their behalf until the matter is fully resolved.
“TTAG remains your voice, your advocate, and your shield until this matter is fully resolved,” the Association assured.
