‘No-fees-stress’ policy boosts tertiary education enrollment – SDA College Vice Principal

The Savannah College of Education in Daboya, Ghana, has seen the resumption of staff duties after a strike suspension that was initially triggered by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) and the Colleges of Education Non-Teaching Staff Association of Ghana (CENTSAG). The industrial action, which began on November 1, 2026, was due to delays in the migration of staff, an issue that the two unions claim remains unresolved.

The decision to suspend the strike came after interventions by the Savannah Regional Minister, who engaged the staff on behalf of the President, and appeals from various stakeholders, including the North Gonja District Chief Executive, traditional leaders, the Savannah Regional Director of Education, College Management, and the North Gonja District Police Commander.

The Regional Minister assured the unions that their concerns would be addressed, leading to the suspension of the strike. Subsequent engagements between the unions and College Management have also led to progress in resolving the issues, prompting the decision to suspend the strike and allow further consultations and negotiations.
