Salary adjustments are automatic: GES clarifies process for promoted teachers

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has clarified that salary adjustments for newly promoted teachers are automatic. According to the GES, teachers promoted to new ranks are normally placed on the appropriate salary scale corresponding to their new positions, and this existing practice has not changed.

The clarification was made in response to concerns raised by some newly promoted teachers who were directed to submit various documents, including application letters and promotion letters, to facilitate the processing of their salary adjustments. The GES has directed teachers to disregard requests to submit such documents for salary adjustments.

The Service has appealed for calm as it engages with regions and districts reportedly requesting these documents, to ensure that the established process is properly followed. The GES remains committed to maintaining the established process for salary adjustments following promotions.
