According to reports received, the NLC suggested that CETAG suspend their industrial action to allow for further discussions on the matter.
However, the Leadership of CETAG stated that they cannot return to the classroom without being paid their August salaries and other conditions being met by the government.
They emphasized that the decision to even end the strike would have to be a collective decision by all members of CETAG.
