Ferdinand | EducationGhana | January 19 | Teacher Trainees Advised to Stay Home Amid CETAG Strike and PRINCOF Notice

Teacher Trainees in Ghana have been advised by TTAG to stay home following PRINCOF’s resumption notice and the ongoing CETAG strike affecting Colleges of Education.

The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has advised all teacher trainees to remain at home following a recent notice issued by the National Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) and the ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers’ Association of Ghana (CETAG).

The advisory, issued on January 16, 2026, affects trainees in all public Colleges of Education until the industrial action is officially called off and teaching and learning fully resume.

TTAG Cites Unresolved CETAG Strike

According to the National Secretariat of TTAG, the decision is based on the unresolved nature of the CETAG strike, which continues to disrupt academic activities across Colleges of Education.

The Association assured trainees that its leadership remains actively engaged with relevant authorities and stakeholders to secure a permanent and sustainable resolution to the issues underlying the strike.
