Barring any government intervention, the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) will today, Friday, April 24, embark on a nationwide demonstration over the 2022–2024 recruitment backlog, citing limited job slots for its members and other trained teachers.
The protest will happen across all Colleges of Education, with a national convergence in Accra.
In a statement dated Thursday, April 23, 2026, the National Secretariat said the move responds to the growing backlog of trained teachers and what it called inadequate recruitment slots announced by authorities.
According to TTAG, the decision follows broad consultations and shows the urgent need for a more responsive and inclusive teacher recruitment process.
The Association added that all required security arrangements have been made with relevant authorities to ensure a peaceful and orderly demonstration nationwide.
It further stated that all 49 Colleges of Education are expected to join, urging members to act with discipline, unity, and urgency.
“This action follows extensive engagement and careful consideration of the concerns of our members, as well as the urgent need for a more responsive and inclusive approach to teacher recruitment. In this regard: Tomorrow, Friday, 24th April, 2026, has been designated for a nationwide demonstration to be held across Colleges of Education, with a national convergence in Accra.
“All necessary security arrangements have been duly coordinated with the appropriate authorities to ensure a safe and orderly exercise across all Colleges. Accordingly, all forty-nine (49) Colleges of Education are expected to proceed with this demonstration with a sense of urgency, discipline, and unity, as previously outlined,” the statement said.
