Ferdinand | EducationGhana | September 08 |Urgent Update: Teachers Face Heartfelt Delay in the 2024 Inter-Regional Release Letters – What You Need to Know
Teachers awaiting inter-regional release letters will face delays as schools resume on September 10, 2024. Learn how this affects salary payments and accommodation, and get insights from education expert Ellis Ferdinand on the ongoing process.
As schools prepare to resume on September 10, 2024, teachers expecting inter-regional release letters are facing an unexpected delay. This situation has created a wave of uncertainty for many educators who are anxious about their new placements and accommodation arrangements.
Teachers waiting for these crucial release letters from the Director-General (DG) of the Ghana Education Service (GES) are advised to remain patient. Although the letters are not yet available, teachers can either continue at their current schools or stay home as they await further updates. Rest assured, you will still be validated for salary payment, even if the official confirmation of your new placement is still pending.
The delay in receiving inter-regional release letters is a common challenge, often more complex than district-level transfers. These transfers can take one to two months to process, and while the process is rigorous, reliable sources confirm that the DG is working diligently to expedite the resolution.
For now, teachers are encouraged to stay in touch with their current schools or make necessary arrangements at home while waiting for their release letters. Although accommodation issues at new schools remain unresolved, the education community remains hopeful that the DG’s efforts will soon bring clarity and closure to this matter.
Ellis Ferdinand, a prominent Ghanaian education blogger, curriculum specialist, and researcher, highlighted the current situation in his September 7, 2024, update. His insights emphasize the importance of patience and understanding as the DG works tirelessly to finalize the inter-regional transfer process.
