Ferdinand | EducationGhana | January 03 | TTAG Demands Clear Recruitment Timelines for Trained Teachers, Warns of Possible Action

The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has issued an urgent call for the government to clarify recruitment timelines for trained teachers, warning that continued delays threaten teacher welfare and basic school staffing nationwide.

TTAG Raises Alarm Over Prolonged Recruitment Delays

The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has expressed deep concern over the prolonged uncertainty surrounding the recruitment and posting of professionally trained teachers across the country.

In a public statement dated January 2, 2026, and addressed to the Minister for Education and other key stakeholders, the Association described the delays as unacceptable and detrimental to both trained teachers and the broader education system.

According to TTAG, many trained teachers who have completed their academic programmes, licensure requirements, and national service remain without clear information on their professional placement.

2022 Backlog and 2023 Batch Still Await Clarity

The Association disclosed that despite several follow-up engagements and formal correspondence with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance, government has not communicated a clear and publicly defined recruitment timeline for:

The 2022 backlog of trained teachers
The 2023 batch of trained teachers

This lack of clarity, TTAG noted, continues to create anxiety and uncertainty among affected graduates, many of whom have been waiting for months without official guidance.

Staffing Gaps Persist in Basic Schools

TTAG cautioned that the delays have broader implications for the education sector. While trained teachers remain unemployed, many basic schools, particularly in rural and underserved communities, continue to experience acute staffing shortages.

The Association stressed that this situation undermines teaching and learning outcomes and weakens efforts to improve access and quality at the basic education level.

Call for Accountability and Structured Planning

In its call for action, TTAG urged the Government of Ghana to demonstrate accountability and effective planning by taking immediate steps to address the issue. Specifically, the Association demanded that government:

Provide a clear and definitive public timeline for the recruitment and posting of the 2022 backlog and the 2023 batch of trained teachers.
Communicate this timeline to all stakeholders on or before January 8, 2026.

Warning of Possible Action If Deadline Is Missed

TTAG stated unequivocally that failure by government to meet the January 8 deadline would leave the Association with no option but to consider further action to demand clarity and accountability. The Association described the matter as critical to the future of education in Ghana and emphasised that continued silence from authorities is no longer tenable.

Commitment to Engagement, But Urgency Emphasised

Despite the strong tone of the statement, TTAG reaffirmed its commitment to constructive engagement with all relevant authorities and institutions. The Association expressed hope that government would recognise the urgency of the situation and take the necessary steps to bring transparency and certainty to the recruitment process in the interest of trained teachers and the national education system.
