GES directs immediate disbursement of 2023 Capitation Grant arrears

GES has released 2023 Capitation Grant arrears to district accounts for onward transfer to public basic schools before the 2026/2027 academic year.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has recently distributed Capitation Grant arrears for the 2023 academic year to District Education Directorates. These funds will be further distributed to basic schools. The transfers have been completed, with the money now in the accounts of District Education Directorates. The Regional Sports and Culture components were sent directly to the Regional Offices' designated accounts, while the District Office Sports and Culture funds were included in the transfers to the district accounts.

Regional Directors have been instructed to ensure the funds reach the schools by the time the first term of the 2026/2027 academic year begins, allowing school heads to operate their institutions smoothly. A monitoring team from the GES headquarters will visit the regions to evaluate the disbursement process. The GES emphasized that the move aims to reduce the financial burden on parents and guardians by providing essential operational support to public basic schools.
