The Ghana Education Service has announced the receipt of financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance to begin salary payments for the remaining 6,249 teachers recruited in 2024. The approval marks an important step toward resolving delays faced by newly appointed staff awaiting placement on the mechanised payroll.
According to the GES, the clearance provides immediate authorisation for the processing of all outstanding salaries, allowing the Service to complete administrative steps needed to finalise payments.
