The National Secretariat of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has released an official advisory to all teacher trainees following a recent notice from the National Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) and the ongoing strike action by the Colleges of Education Teachers’ Association of Ghana (CETAG).
In the statement dated January 16, 2026, TTAG advised all teacher trainees to stay at home until the industrial action is formally called off and academic activities fully resume. This directive is in response to the unresolved nature of the strike, which continues to affect teaching and learning across the Colleges of Education.
The Association assured trainees that its leadership is actively engaging relevant authorities and key stakeholders to seek a lasting and sustainable solution to the issues that led to the strike. TTAG emphasized its commitment to restoring normal academic activities as soon as possible.
Addressing concerns specific to Level 400 teacher trainees undertaking macro-teaching, TTAG stated that it is working closely with PRINCOF regarding the approved duration of the exercise. The Association expressed confidence that the ongoing strike will not disrupt the macro-teaching process. However, if the strike extends beyond February 9, 2026, a final decision will be taken after consultations with the appropriate authorities. Until then, Level 400 trainees have been encouraged to continue their practice and rely solely on official TTAG communication for guidance.
TTAG further urged all teacher trainees to remain calm and resolute during this period while awaiting further updates. The Association reaffirmed its role as the representative and advocate of teacher trainees, assuring members of its continued commitment until the matter is fully resolved.
The statement was jointly signed by Victor Atsu Anyidoho, General Secretary, and Nanija Divine, President of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana.
