A senior lecturer at the University of Ghana Professor Ransford Gyampo, has responded to a statement by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission’s (FWSC) Head of Public Affairs that unsatisfied academics should retire.
Mr. Ankrah,Head of Public Affairs for Fair Wages and Salaries Commission spoke on 3FM in Accra on Thursday.
He said members of the University Teachers Association (UTAG), who are now on strike, cannot continue with the strike if they want to engage in real negotiations toward a peaceful resolution of the situation.
Mr. Ankrah believes that frustrated lecturers should resign if they are unsatisfied with their working conditions.
Professor Gyampo indicated in a Facebook post that, “telling teachers that if they aren’t happy with their conditions of service, they should resign, is the most foolish talk that can only proceed from the buccal cavity of a small-minded person who couldn’t fully benefit from formal education”.
