The University Teachers Association of Ghana(UTAG) is a professional association for University teachers in Ghana that helps in bargaining for the welfare of lecturers across all the public universities in Ghana[1].
History
It was formed in 1964 to cater for the needs and well-being of members. The body was formerly known as Ghana Association of University Teachers (GAUT) which was formed by the then expatriate senior members during the 1964/1965 academic year. They use to organize film shows, musical, dance and theatre performances by way of entertaining their members during the weekends.
In 1973, the name Ghana Association of University Teachers(GAUT) was changed to University Teachers Association of Ghana(UTAG) by senior members namely Dr. R.G. Baeta, Dr. John Hyde and Dr. Yeboah Amankwah which was purposely to clarify and change the whole conception of the association[2].
Governing body
The spine of UTAG contains the president, vice prresident, national secretary and 15 national executives from each of the public universities[3]. The current executives of the association are Associate Professor Solomon Nunoo, president: Dr Eric N. Wiah, vice president, Dr Asare Asante-Annor, secretary and Dr Akyene Tetteh, treasurer[4].
