TUTAG suspends strike, teaching to resume November 2
By SchoolRegistry Ghana Newsroom ·
3News reported that the Technical University Teachers' Association of Ghana suspended its nationwide strike after its congress deliberated on Thursday, October 29. TUTAG National President Prof. Deodat Emilson Adenutsi said the association chose to suspend the action rather than call it off, and announced that teaching and academic activities would resume at the technical universities from November 2. He asked university management to give students, especially freshers, enough time to finish outstanding academic processes. The strike arose from three issues: non-payment of staff on post-retirement contracts, changes to promotion requirements for assistant lecturers, and the classification of academic librarians as academic staff.
