The ongoing strike by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) since August 1, 2023, has posed a major concern for third-year teacher trainees.
As the end of their first semester approaches, they are now questioning whether they will be able to sit for their scheduled examinations, which were supposed to commence on August 14, 2023.
As of now, there has been no official communication regarding the fate of the aforementioned examination. Consequently, trainees are currently in a state of uncertainty.
