The University Teachers Association of Ghana has categorically mentioned that lecturers will not be returning to the classrooms, today February 21.
Speaking on The Forum on Asaase Radio 99.5 on Saturday, Prof. Solomon Nunoo, the president of UTAG, said there would be no teaching today on any of the campuses in the country.
He maintained that the association would meet to evaluate the request from the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education to call off the strike and return to the negotiating table.
“We’ll still be on strike this coming Monday and we’ll not be returning to the classroom. When we met Parliament last Thursday, the government gave an indication that they want us to sit and talk about the issue for which reason we asked for a period so that it gives room for us to talk to the employers.
“…So, at the moment, this is where we are and we’ll be convening a meeting to evaluate and assess whether the request from the Parliamentary Select Committee will receive a favourable response from UTAG.”
