The service received over 20,000 applications from teachers, with 12,720 successful candidates.
The service called for employment on May 11, 2024. Those selected are expected to visit the Ghana Education Service portal between July 5 and July 31, 2024, to complete the self-placement exercise.
Following the GES's call for employment, over 20,000 applications were received from qualified teachers, with 12,720 successful candidates in the first batch.
These individuals must visit the Ghana Education Service recruitment portal between July 5 and July 31, 2024, to complete the self-placement exercise.
The service's director-general, Eric Nkansah, said the self-placement system aims to address various challenges teachers face, including language barriers and financial difficulties.
These developments follow concerns about unemployed graduates from the various colleges of education and the government's failure to provide them with employment opportunities years after graduation.
Acknowledging their concerns, the GES expressed appreciation for their patience and urged them to apply to be considered for immediate employment.
The Ghana National Council of Private Schools executive director Enoch Gyetuah suggested to YEN.com.gh that "this would affect private schools and schools in remote areas negatively."
This would not affect schools in the private sector, however.
"Posting of government teachers are not extended to private schools as their control and direct employer is GES."
What to do in the portal
Qualified applicants must enter their College Index Number in the portal to verify their qualifications and access appointment letters on the platform.
You then enter your phone number and NTC number accurately for validation and your successful application.
Applicants would then receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on the provided phone number and enter it.
Applicants can scan the code with their smartphones to confirm the letter's authenticity.
Successful applicants are required to visit their respective Regional Education Directorates with their Ghana Card and other necessary documents for further verification and instructions.
NSS drops pin codes for prospective personnel
YEN.com.gh reported that the National Service Scheme has released pin codes for students eligible for the mandatory national service to enrol.
The NSS management announced a new directive where prospective service personnel are expected to pay an enrollment fee of GH₵40 at ADB bank or GH₵41 using MTN mobile money.
The Media Foundation for West Africa's Executive Director, Sulemana Braimah, has described the directive as immoral and called for its scrapping.
He noted that should the students pay, the NSS will make GH₵5.3million without providing additional services to the prospective personnel.
