Roger Wills calls for systemic overhaul of teacher salary, promotion and pension processes

He said although steps had been taken to address some of the concerns affecting teachers, more needed to be done to ensure effective coordination between the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department in processing payments and implementing agreements.

He noted that measures were being taken to address some of the concerns, including efforts to improve coordination among the relevant institutions.” He also emphasised the need to improve the welfare of teachers, noting that their contribution to Ghana’s development made it important to address challenges affecting their working and living conditions.
