Cape Coast Polytechnic lecturers resume work

Lecturers at the Cape Coast Polytechnic have resumed work following an agreement by the Standing Joint Negotiation Committee (SJNC) to address the salary distortions of the Polytechnic Teachers Association of Ghana (POTAG).

POTAG has accepted the 17.5 percent salary increment the government offered pending a special committee to be set up to work out a new salary structure for the polytechnics.

Dr John Kofi Borsah, Principal of Cape Coast Polytechnic, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Tuesday that lectures have resumed ''but most students who went home during the strike action are yet to report back on campus''.

Most lecture halls were locked up with students waiting for their lecturers when the GNA visited the school. A few were opened with some lecturers teaching.

Dr Borsah said classes would return to normal by Thursday.
