The National Secretariat of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has advised teacher trainees across the country to remain at home as the industrial action by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) continues.
The directive follows a recent notice from the National Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) and comes in the absence of any resolution to the ongoing strike, which has disrupted teaching and learning in public colleges of education nationwide.
In a press release, TTAG explained that trainees should not return to campus until the strike has been officially called off and academic activities fully resume.
“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.
TTAG also assured its members that it is engaging relevant authorities and key stakeholders in efforts to resolve the issues behind the strike and restore normal academic activities as soon as possible.
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.
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.
TTAG further urged all teacher trainees to remain calm and resolute as efforts continue to resolve the impasse.
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.
