The University of Cape Coast (UCC) School of Medical Sciences is currently experiencing an indefinite strike by its lecturers. The reason behind this strike is the ongoing issues related to promotions and career progression within the institution. Despite having all the necessary professional and academic qualifications, the lecturers have been facing delays in their promotion processes.
This delay has led to a sense of frustration among the staff members, with some even considering leaving the university due to the lack of clear opportunities for career advancement. The lecturers are calling on the university’s management and relevant authorities to take immediate action to address this issue and provide a solution that ensures timely and fair promotions for all qualified staff members.
As of now, the UCC administration has not issued an official response to the strike, leaving the lecturers and the university community in a state of uncertainty. It is crucial for both parties to engage in constructive dialogue to find a resolution that addresses the concerns of the lecturers while also ensuring the smooth functioning of the institution.
