Unemployed graduates with disabilities issue one-week ultimatum over GES recruitment exclusion

The Coalition of Unemployed Graduates with Disabilities has given the government a one-week ultimatum to employ its qualified members who were unsuccessful in the recent Ghana Education Service (GES) recruitment exercise. They claim to have submitted a verified list of 200 qualified graduates with disabilities, but none of the applicants were offered employment despite assurances from education authorities.

The group accuses the Ministry of Education and Ghana Education Service of disregarding the government's commitment to reserve at least five per cent of public sector jobs for persons with disabilities, and warns of an indefinite peaceful occupation of key government buildings if their demands are not met.
