The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that teachers who have recently been promoted do not need to apply for a salary adjustment. This clarification came after some newly promoted educators were directed to submit promotion letters, application forms and other supporting documents as part of the salary adjustment process.
GES released a statement on Saturday, August 22, 2026, explaining that teachers moving to new ranks are automatically placed on the appropriate salary scale, reflecting their new rank. The statement emphasized that the existing practice has not changed. The service advised affected teachers to disregard any requests for additional documents for salary adjustments.
GES management is working with regions and districts issuing such instructions to resolve the issue. The GES urged teachers to remain calm while the matter is addressed. The statement was signed by the Head of Public Relations at the GES, Daniel Fenyi.
