Update on Meeting with PRINCOF on 2022-2023 Academic Calendar
PRINCOF and CETAG have extensively discussed the academic calendar that is circulating and made some modifications to it.
Teacher trainees were not expecting the academic calendar to be drafted in such a way as they know that it will be like the 2021-2022 academic year academic calendar.
This has come differently, but according to the summary of the meeting between CETAG and PRINCOF, modifications were made to it.
The new modified academic calendar is yet to be released to all colleges, hence we don’t know what has been changed.

Update on Meeting with PRINCOF on 2022-2023 Academic Calendar
The summary of the meeting is outlined below:
Note that some of the decisions taken will take effect next academic year.
- The issue of payment of compensation for all-year-round work (2021/2022) was revisited.
- PRINCOF assured CETAG that the compensation shall be paid as agreed.
- Payment of compensation for all-year-round work for 2021/2022 shall be done on a cost-sharing basis between GoG and IGF.
- The proposed 2022/2023 academic calendar was discussed extensively with some modifications to it.
- Tutors who shall teach beyond the maximum credit load of 12 hours per week shall be paid an extra teaching load allowance for up to 6 hours per week by the colleges.
- Individual colleges are permitted to design timetables that will ensure that tutors can handle courses in their specialized areas instead of assigning a whole level to a tutor or two.
- The 2023/2024 academic calendar shall be modified after the Ministry has secured cabinet approval this year for the colleges to begin admitting day/non-residential students.
- The final calendar shall be shared with the affiliate universities and all colleges before it is implemented.
- Meanwhile, PRINCOF pleaded with CETAG to reconsider calling off our strike to pave way for the 2022/2023 academic year to start.
Thank you.
Signed.
