CUTT demands transparency over GES teacher recruitment

The Coalition of Unemployed Trained Teachers (CUTT 2023) has expressed deep dissatisfaction with the Ghana Education Service's (GES) recent teacher recruitment exercise, accusing the education authority of conducting the process without sufficient transparency and failing to provide reasons for rejecting thousands of qualified applicants.

According to the coalition, making the selection criteria public would help dispel growing concerns among unsuccessful applicants and assure the public that the recruitment exercise was conducted on merit.

In a press release issued on Monday, July 27, the coalition said the manner in which the recruitment exercise was conducted has left many trained teachers frustrated and seeking answers after being informed that their applications were unsuccessful despite meeting all the advertised requirements.
