The Ghana Education Service (GES) has explained that recently promoted teachers do not need to submit application letters or extra paperwork to have their salaries updated. This clarification came after some newly promoted educators were told in certain areas and districts to submit their promotion letters, application letters, and other papers for salary changes.
In a statement, the GES stated that its standard procedure is for teachers who get promoted to new positions to be placed automatically on the correct salary scale for their new roles. They emphasized that this system has remained unchanged. Teachers who have been promoted are thus not obliged to submit further documents to adjust their salaries to reflect their new ranks.
The GES has advised such promoted teachers to ignore any requests to submit these documents for salary adjustments. They are working with the few regions and districts that have been making these requests to ensure the established process is followed. The Service has also asked teachers to stay calm while these interactions continue.
