The University Student Association of Ghana (USAG) is asking government to solve once and for all, challenges with the book and research allowances for university teachers.
UTAG suspends strike
They expressed great displeasure at the manner with which government deals with issues concerning education.
The University Teacher Association of Ghana (UTAG) last week after assurance by government to pay their book and research allowance suspended its strike.
UTAG has threatened to go back on strike should the release of the allowance delay.
In a press release signed by USAG’s President, Henry Nkosuo Boakye, the association advised government to review its provisions made towards education.
“Our teachers heard our humble cry and for that reason are back to the classroom. On that note we want to say Ayekoo to our gallant University Teachers for listening to the cry of University Students and coming to lecture us. Meanwhile we bemoan the government for the sluggish way in solving the issues with our lecturers once and for all so that this annual ritual of strikes will be a thing of the past,” he added.
“We want to unequivocally state that we are unhappy whenever the government is not quick to solving issues that will give Ghanaian students quality education as promised and advice that an urgent review be done towards the provision of quality education which seem to have become only a mantra without action.”
