GES terminates appointments of staff yet to be placed on payroll -

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has terminated the appointments and recruitments of Teaching and Non-Teaching staff who are yet to be placed on the government payroll.

This directive, which takes immediate effect, follows an order from the Chief of Staff, according to a letter from the Office of the President dated February 10, 2025.

In an official statement issued on February 17, 2025, and signed by the Acting Director-General of GES, Prof. Ernest Kofi Davis, all Regional, District, Municipal, and Metropolitan Directors of Education have been instructed to enforce strict compliance with the directive.

“All Regional and District/Municipal/Metropolitan Directors are to ensure that this directive is strictly adhered to,” the statement emphasized.

The statement clarified that affected personnel will not be added to the payroll, effectively nullifying their appointments.

GES further assured that any future updates on the matter would be communicated as necessary.
