CAGD says all 6,079 of 58,620 teacher promotion cases received from GES have been paid
CAGD says it has fully processed and paid every teacher promotion case received from GES, but only 6,079 of an expected 58,620 cases have been submitted.
The Controller and Accountant-General's Department (CAGD) has processed and paid all 6,079 teacher promotion cases submitted to them by the Ghana Education Service (GES), according to a September 27, 2026 press release. Teacher unions had expressed concerns over delays in placing promoted teachers on their new salary scales. The Ghanaian payroll system utilizes two platforms: the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS), managed by GES, and the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Database 2 (IPPD2), managed by CAGD.
GES forwards completed input forms and promotion letters to CAGD for validation, which is crucial for preventing fraudulent promotions, unauthorized salary adjustments, and irregular payments. As of September 22, 2026, CAGD had received and processed 10 percent of the anticipated 58,620 cases, fully processing and paying each case, including any applicable arrears.
The remaining cases await the submission of required documentation by GES. CAGD emphasized that they can only process salary adjustments upon receiving the necessary documentation from GES. The department expressed readiness to collaborate with the Ministry of Education, GES, teacher unions, and other stakeholders in addressing any genuine payroll concerns through proper channels and urged stakeholders to refrain from disseminating information that might cause public anxiety or misrepresent CAGD's role in payroll administration.
