TTAG to demonstrate over NSS postings tomorrow
Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana (TTAG), is set to go on a demonstration Wednesday, November 7, 2018, in Accra.
The immediate-past National Deputy General Secretary of the association, Ekow Painstil Dyan, disclosed this on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen Tuesday.
According to him, the demonstration is to express their grievances on the decision by the Ghana Education Service for the trainee teachers to undergo the mandatory National Service through which they will be posted by the national service Secretariat of Ghana.
“What we all know is that, once you attend any training college in the country, you are assured of an outright employment so we do not understand why things are different now. Why should a trained teacher apply for a job with the Ghana Education Service,” he asked.
Going further, he stated that the demonstration was going to be a continuous process until the GES agreed to conduct the usual postings they know.
“We agreed to meet with the GES but no time was communicated to us so around 6:45 am, we had a call that the meeting was at 7 and we got there around 8:20 am and were told the meeting was over. And with no representatives from our part, we were told the NSS is to post us,” he explained.
