  "account": "The Ghana Education Service (GES) has set October 5 as the deadline to submit necessary documents for processing the salaries of newly promoted teachers. This directive came after an assurance from the Education Minister to teacher union representatives on Monday, September 28. The Controller and Accountant-General's Department emphasized the importance of input forms and other required documentation, including promotion letters, for completing the salary processing. The deadline of 4pm on Monday, October 5, gives GES a week to gather and submit the required documentation to the Controller and Accountant General. Approximately 80,000 staff, comprising both teaching and non-teaching personnel, are affected by this exercise, with about 59,000 to 60,000 of them being teaching staff. GES officials are working around the clock to support the process, maintaining a collaborative approach with teacher unions and other stakeholders.",
