The Ghana Education Service (GES) has assured newly posted teachers that steps are being taken to resolve delays in the issuance of staff identification numbers and the payment of outstanding salaries.

The affected teachers, part of the 2022 cohort from the Colleges of Education, staged a protest at the GES headquarters on Monday, 23 June, over the non-payment of salaries for nearly 10 months and the absence of staff IDs.

In a statement issued by GES Public Relations Officer Daniel Fenyi, the Service disclosed that the Ministry of Education has formally requested an extension of the expired financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance. "The extension-once granted-will enable the processing of unpaid salaries and facilitate the issuance of outstanding staff identification numbers," the statement noted.

GES also revealed the formation of a technical committee that includes representatives of the aggrieved teachers.
