UG-UTAG returns to classroom

Executives of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) chapter in the University of Ghana have conceded to return to the lecture halls after an initial refusal.

In a statement released on February 28, the chapter stated that although they are in disagreement with their National Executive Committee (NEC) to call of the strike, they would cooperate with the institutions management and return to teaching.

The committee stated that the initial decision not to return to lecture halls was in the best interest of students, but had been misinterpreted and pitched UTAG members against the schools management.

The Executive Committee of the chapter noted that, they were fighting government for improved conditions of service and not against the schools’ management effort to members back to work.

The chapter after an announcement by the university’s management to have lectures resumed on February 28 stated refused to return to the classroom as a result of its opposition to the NECs decision to temporarily suspend the strike.
