GES promotions 2019/2020: letters, results, interview
You might be wondering why workers in the education system put so much emphasis on checking their GES promotion results. Well, this piece is here to enlighten you. GES promotion is the method by which workers in the education system in Ghana are given higher/advanced ranks or are put in a position which gives them more responsibilities than they enjoyed in their previous positions.
Promotions of this nature can be either due to consistent improvement in the workers performance. This is popularly known as real promotion. In real promotions, the promoted persons are tasked with higher responsibilities and go higher in the hierarchy of the company. This individual may not necessarily enjoy higher pay or other benefits.
On the other hand, the promotion can be based on the availability of a position which the said candidate is qualified for. This is popularly known as nominal promotion. In nominal promotions, the promoted individual enjoys more benefits and increased pay in addition to the increased number of responsibilities.
Before promotion, the candidate must have shown that they have the required knowledge in the position they want to be promoted to and are to be qualified for the same position. Employers use mechanisms such as interviews and tests to gauge the persons knowledge. Once you are accepted, you are provided with training on the said job while still working in your new position(popularly known as on-the-job experience).
In the Ghana Education Service (GES) the workers are graded from the highest to the lowest in rank. However, the higher the rank sometimes does not entail an equal increase in salaries
