The National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE), is today (October 3), starting a nationwide audit of staff of the eight technical universities in Ghana.
The audit forms part of moves to migrate staff of the Universities onto the conditions of service for public universities.
The NCTE has since informed the National Labour Commission about the audit, and reached an understanding with the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations on the matter.
Members of the Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) embarked on a sit-down strike few weeks ago over government’s delay in migrating them onto the conditions of services of Public Universities in Ghana.
TUTAG however, suspended the strike after the NCTE met one of its conditions to provide the Association with the ‘scheme schedule’ for the staff audit to migrate them onto the public university salary scale.
Despite the progress, the move is said to have left both administrative and teaching staff apprehensive, as some of them still do not have the requisite qualifications and may lose their jobs.
The auditors will be verifying staff appointment letters, original copies of certificates and curriculum vitae at the time of appointment.
