By Students at Bimbilla College of Education are leaving campus due to the ongoing CETAG strike, which has left them stranded for three weeks.
With no resolution in sight, many students are running low on funds and options.
The strike, which began on June 14, 2024, stems from the government’s delay in implementing an arbitral award and agreed-upon service conditions.
Despite a directive from the National Labour Commission to end the strike, CETAG remains firm, insisting that their grievances be resolved.
The strike has brought all academic and administrative activities to a standstill, casting uncertainty over the future of the academic calendar.
In an exclusive interview with Channel One News, students voiced their frustration and concern about their academic prospects.
The strike is impacting students across the country, including those at Bimbilla College of Education.
Final-year students worry that the disruption may affect their scheduled graduation in September, while first-year students are also anxious about how the strike will impact their education.
Despite the challenges, some students are persevering with private studies to prepare for their end-of-semester exams.
The next meeting to address the strike is scheduled for August 6, 2024.
Students are urging the government to address the lecturers’ demands and expedite their return to work, particularly with the upcoming election year.
