Mixed Reactions Among Staff

The release of the results has sparked mixed feelings among GES staff.

• Celebrations: Some staff are pleased with their career advancements, viewing it as a recognition of their efforts and dedication to service.
• Frustrations: Others, however, have voiced concerns about delays, perceived unfairness, and a lack of transparency in the promotion process.

1. Stagnation in Ranks
   • Many staff lament spending six to eight years at the same rank despite meeting criteria for promotion.
2. Appointment Letter Delays
   • Allegations of hoarding and mismanagement in issuing appointment letters have been raised, with claims that some staff are unfairly sidelined.

   • Staff in remote areas feel overlooked, with concerns that their contributions are not adequately rewarded despite their sacrifices.

Call for Transparency and Reform

The concerns raised highlight an urgent need for GES to address systemic issues in the promotion process. Ensuring fairness, equity, and transparency in promotions will not only boost morale but also improve overall efficiency within the education sector.

As GES moves forward, the feedback from staff serves as an opportunity to refine policies and systems to support career development for all employees.
