Members of the Association of Teachers of Ghana Education Colleges (CETAG)
Students from the country's education college are inactive following a month-long strike by their teachers.
Some students have packed up and are about to return home.
They do not understand why they will be on campus when there are no teachers to guide them.
In their frustration, some students ask the government to resolve the grievances with their teachers so that they come back to the law on conferences.
Members of the Ghana Teachers' College Association (CETAG) went on strike on October 29 for poor working conditions.
The striking teachers want the government to address the issues of market premium and research allowance.
But the government described the strike as illegal and decided not to pay for the period when they were away from the office.
He is, however, committed to sitting with CETAG members to find an amicable solution to the problem.
On Wednesday, the stalemate worsened after CETAG members refused to sit in the government until their salaries were paid.
CETAG President Prince Obeng-Himah, who spoke to the press in the Ashanti region, said the directive to freeze the salaries of its members was against the procedure.
He told Erastus Asare Donkor, of Luv FM, that he will honor the Labor Commission's meeting scheduled for tomorrow, but will ignore any attempt to meet with the government until their salaries are paid.
"We have been clear and we need to be consistent about the fact that unless the stalled wage issue is resolved, we do not sit down and talk to any government agency," he said.
He stated that they would go to the Labor Board with a strong legal team to tell them their story, insisting that they had followed the right procedures before announcing their strike.
The strike has a negative impact on university work in the country's schools.
Addressing Joy News later in the day, CETAG President Prince Obeng-Himah said he was ready to lose his Christmas salary for this fight.
It has been suggested that teachers on strike would return to work to receive their pay for Christmas, but Obeng-Himah said it was better that they lose their Christmas pay today and take advantage of it. during their retirement rather than take their Christmas salary and suffer later.
He said that they are ready to go the complete pig
