The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the immediate revocation of all recent recruitments of teaching and non-teaching staff who have not yet been placed on the government payroll.
This decision, outlined in an official letter dated Monday (17 February 2025), follows a directive from the Office of the President and the Chief of Staff.
According to the letter, signed by Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, Acting Director-General of GES, the revocation affects all newly recruited staff who have yet to be processed into the payroll system.
The directive mandates that all Regional, District, Municipal, and Metropolitan Directors of Education strictly comply with this decision.
The move is seen as a significant step by the government, likely aimed at addressing financial constraints or administrative concerns within the education sector.
The revocation of these appointments raises concerns about the impact on Ghana’s education system, particularly in areas experiencing teacher shortages. Many new recruits who had anticipated employment may now face uncertainty regarding their professional future.
While the letter does not provide details on the reasons behind this directive, stakeholders, including education unions and affected personnel, are expected to seek clarity from the government.
The Ministry of Education, along with other relevant authorities, will likely address the implications of this decision in the coming days.
