Promotion No Longer Tied to Office Vacancies

In a major policy shift, GES announced that promotion to the Director II and Director I ranks will no longer be contingent on the availability of limited office vacancies, as was previously the case.

Management explained that this development aligns with the commitment made by President John Dramani Mahama to teachers, aimed at improving career progression and morale within the Ghana Education Service.

Official Communication Only

GES cautioned teachers and the general public to rely solely on official communication from the Service and to disregard unverified information circulating on social media platforms.

The update marks a significant step toward resolving long-standing concerns about stagnation at senior ranks within the Ghana Education Service and is expected to impact a large number of eligible teachers across the country.
