Teachers who pass promotional exam to get January 2026 start date after gov’t resolves promotion dispute – Apaak

"We are happy to note that the teachers were very considerate and have agreed with the minister and for that matter government, to give us [government] September to ensure that those who have passed the exams, they have to be scaled to their new positions in the structure, are scaled appropriately, and that they will no longer be required to provide that earlier documentation, and that all teachers who have written and passed the promotional exam would have a start date of January 2026," Mr Apaak announced.

Government has therefore agreed that the affected teachers will no longer be required to provide the earlier documentation.

The government has resolved a dispute over the implementation of teachers’ promotional examinations, agreeing that all teachers who passed the exams will have January 2026 as the effective date for their new positions and salaries.
