President has ordered the immediate promotion of all qualified deputy directors of education, according to Education minister .
The instruction comes after the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) threatened to go on strike on April 30 over junior-ranked teachers' delayed advancements.
Speaking at the launch of a sanitary pad distribution initiative for schoolgirls on Thursday, April 24, The minister promised that promotions would be given out regardless of whether formal postings or office space were available at the time. "One of your major concerns, the president raised to me, is that in his campaign rounds, many of you who are deputy directors of education struggle to move the ladder above you to become directors because of the unavailability of office spaces. "President has directed the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education to give all those deputy directors a legitimate promotion.
And even without office, they will still serve in their capacities as directors of GES," he stated.
