Tamale College of Education

A group of recently posted teachers from the 2022 batch of College of Education graduates are scheduled to picket at the Ghana Education Service (GES) headquarters on Monday, June 23 over the delayed issuance of staff IDs and the non-payment of salary for the previous ten months.

Despite repeated follow-ups and assurances from GES officials, the 784 impacted teachers claim they have not received their pay since their August 1, 2024, appointment.

One of the group's members, Solomon Opoku Gyan, told Citi News that the situation was dire, pointing to the Service's lack of transparency and financial difficulties.

“We’ve worked for 10 months now without pay. We don’t even have staff IDs. Every time we visit GES, they offer excuses. It’s too much—we’re suffering,” a report by citinewsroom.com quoted him to have said.

He added that the prolonged delay has taken a toll on members, with some reportedly losing their lives in the process.

The teachers are demanding swift action from GES to resolve the delays and regularize their employment status.
