In a recent appeal made by the government, colleges of education teachers association (CETAG) has been urged to end their ongoing industrial action and resume their duties in the classrooms.
The government, however, revealed that they are currently facing financial constraints, making it impossible for them to fulfill the demands put forth by CETAG at the moment.
Despite this predicament, the government is pleading with CETAG to return to the classroom for the time being.
The information gathered so far indicates that CETAG remains resolute in their stance and is unwilling to end the strike until their rightful demands are met by the government.
As a result, the academic calender for the esteemed colleges of education is set to face significant disruptions if the strike persists.
The strike action initiated by CETAG commenced on August 1, and already a week has passed without any indication of a resolution or CETAG’s imminent return to teaching.

This has left both the trainees and other stakeholders grappling with the uncertainty of an extended disruption to the academic calendar.
CETAG, in defense of their industrial action, cites a lack of proper remuneration and unfavorable working conditions as their primary concerns.
They stress the urgent need for the government to address these issues promptly, as they deem it crucial for the betterment of the work.
As the impasse continues, the fate of the academic year hangs precariously in the balance.
