  "account": "The Ghana Education Service (GES) has issued a warning to the public regarding the spread of fake teacher recruitment links on social media. According to the Service, these malicious links have been shared across various social media platforms, falsely claiming to originate from GES in connection with a teacher recruitment exercise. A statement released on Sunday, November 15, clarified that the recruitment portal has not yet been opened for applications and urged prospective applicants to disregard any messages or online forms claiming to be part of an official recruitment process.\n\nManagement at GES emphasized that the public should not rely on unofficial online forms or suspicious links, as doing so could pose risks to their personal information. The Service assured the public that when it is ready to commence the recruitment exercise, an official announcement will be made through all authorized communication channels. It also advised individuals who access potentially dangerous links or provide personal information through unauthorized online forms to do so at their own risk.\n\nThe Ghana Education Service urged the public to exercise caution and to rely only on its official communication platforms for updates and information regarding future teacher recruitment.",
