The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has instructed the Ghana Education Service (GES) to launch an investigation into 18 teachers from the Amansie Central District for unlawfully promoting themselves.
These teachers bypassed the legal procedures required by the GES and subsequently increased their salaries.
According to a report from the Amansie Central Education Directorate, the teachers upgraded their qualifications without the necessary documentation, leading to a financial loss of GH¢188,000 to the state.
Vincent Ben Ameyaw, the Amansie Central District Education Director, disclosed that GH¢34,000 has already been recovered.
He stated, “We have been able to collect GH¢34,731.53 and we are left with GH¢152,966.54 and we are on course collecting [the balance].
Ameyaw further explained, “We did not place [promote those teachers], they did self-upgrading without passing through the office. So it is a backdoor affair.”
