Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu has stated that the graduate teachers currently picketing at the Ghana Education Service (GES) over unpaid wages were not employed through the appropriate channels.
According to him, the previous government hired approximately 39,000 teachers without obtaining the necessary financial clearance.
The current administration, he said, is conducting an audit and expects to absorb only about 12,000 of the 39,000 into the education system after the audit is completed. "Appointment letters were issued to as many as 39,000 individuals without any financial clearance.
That is problematic.
