Technical University Teachers Call off Strike Today
The Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG), is calling off Strike hopefully today 25 September 2018.The association will be having a last meeting today to make an agreement with the Minister of State in charge of Tertiary Education, Prof. Kwesi Yankah and the Government as a whole.
Genesis
Dr Zubairu explained that the grievance of (TUTAG) gone down to a lack of a scheme of service, in conformity with the status of some technical institutions which were changed to universities in 2016.
Previously, lecturers were on conditions of service linked to the Technical Colleges Act, but the change brought about a new statute that also had to bring about new schemes of service.
Dr Zubairu said a post-conversion staff audit and schemes of services were some of the changes that had to be initiated by the government, agreed to by the governing boards of the technical universities and passed for lecturers to be clear about their work and benefits.
However, since 2006, even before the conversion of the colleges into universities, the government had not been straightforward with technical college lecturers in ensuring that the right things were done.
