GES on posted teachers and strike

GES

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has stated that it is actively addressing the concerns raised by posted teachers who were recruited in 2024 but have faced months of salary delays and documentation issues. 

The Service confirmed receipt of a formal petition on Monday, June 23, 2025, from a group of affected teachers, many of whom assumed duty as far back as September 2024.

According to the statement released by GES, the grievances largely center on the non-payment of salaries and the delay in issuing Staff Identification Numbers (Staff IDs), which are a prerequisite for processing salaries in the public sector.

In 2024, the GES recruited 12,807 graduates from the Colleges of Education. Of these, 9,950 had received their Staff IDs and had been paid by December 2024. 

However, the remaining 2,113 had Staff IDs but could not be paid due to what the Service described as an “expiration of financial clearance.” 

Additionally, 582 teachers failed to receive their Staff IDs entirely. GES attributed this to delays in documentation, including “inconsistencies in SSNIT numbers, Ghana Card details, and instances of self-reposting.”

“The present GES Management, upon assuming office, immediately undertook a nationwide staff validation exercise from 7th to 14th March 2025 to confirm genuinely recruited teachers and clean up recruitment anomalies. This followed revelations of irregularities as captured in recent audit reports.”

Ghana Education Service (GES)

As part of efforts to resolve the matter, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has formally engaged the Ministry of Finance through the Ministry of Education, requesting an extension of the expired financial clearance that has delayed salary payments for a number of newly posted teachers.

This request, GES indicated, has already been included in the financial planning for the 2025 budget year.

To facilitate direct dialogue and streamline the resolution process, GES also formed a technical committee. 

This body, which includes members from the affected teachers’ group, is tasked with improving communication, providing timely feedback, and ensuring coordinated action between stakeholders.

GES Urges Unity Among Aggrieved Teachers

The Ghana Education Service (GES) also highlighted a major obstacle in resolving the concerns of newly posted teachers: the lack of consistent and unified advocacy. 

According to the Service, each protest or demonstration is typically spearheaded by different individuals or groups, which hampers efforts to maintain continuity and follow up on specific concerns.

This fragmented approach, GES explained, often complicates communication and delays progress. 

The frequent changes in leadership and representation among the aggrieved teachers have made it difficult to track individual cases effectively and sustain momentum in addressing their issues.

“Every picketing exercise often involves a different set of individuals. GES appeals for coordinated, unified, and consistent representation from the teachers to help streamline the engagement process.”

While the frustrations of affected teachers are understandable, GES insisted that significant progress has been made behind the scenes. 

The Service emphasized its ongoing commitment to resolving the issues and ensuring that no genuinely recruited teacher is left behind.

“Management remains committed to transparency, accountability, and collaboration in resolving this matter in the best interest of our hardworking teachers and the education sector at large.”

According to GES, the long-term goal is to fix systemic gaps in recruitment processes so that future postings do not face the same bureaucratic bottlenecks.

The Service is currently reviewing internal structures to ensure smoother onboarding, document verification, and salary processing for new entrants into the public education workforce.

As it stands, the fate of the affected posted teachers now hinges on the Ministry of Finance’s decision to extend financial clearance and on the successful implementation of reforms being put in place by GES.

GES is urging patience and cooperation as it works through the final stages of rectifying these issues.

The Service also reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the dignity of Ghana’s teaching workforce and ensuring they receive the support and compensation they are due.
