The Ghana Education Service (GES) says it is working around the clock to resolve outstanding documentation issues and get teachers back into the classroom.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) is working tirelessly to resolve outstanding documentation issues and bring teachers back into the classroom, says Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations at GES. The Education Ministry has directed GES to collaborate with the Controller and Accountant General’s Department to address payment delays to teachers.
During an interview on Joy News’ PM Express, Mr. Fenyi announced that the Education Minister met with teacher unions and assured them of efforts to resolve the situation. The Minister also directed GES to provide necessary input forms and documentation required by the Controller and Accountant General’s Department. The deadline of 4 p.m. was set as the Controller emphasized the importance of these input forms for their work.
Over 80,000 staff members are involved, with around 59,000 to 60,000 being teaching staff. Mr. Fenyi dismissed attempts to blame government agencies, stressing that the priority should be getting teachers paid. GES officials remain at their headquarters working around the clock to resolve the matter. The GES is confident in meeting the revised deadline and prioritizing teachers' welfare.
They assure that they will do everything possible to ensure teachers can return to the classroom, maintaining the academic calendar.
