Director General of the Ghana Education Service Dr. Eric Nkansah has announced the recruitment for the first batch of the 2022 degree holders from colleges of education into various basic schools in the country.
Earlier this year, the Ghana Education Service received clearance from the Finance Ministry to recruit the 2022 batch of trained teachers who graduated from public colleges of education across the country.
At a press engagement by the Service, Director General of GES Dr. Eric Nkansah disclosed that a self posting system has been introduced to allow the 12,784 newly recruited teachers select their preferred region, District and School of choice.
According to the service, the self posting system is to avoid the incidence of teachers posted to areas with language barrier & deprived conditions at the displeasure of teachers.
“The self-placement module has the benefit of getting the newly trained teachers to be posted to regions where language will not be a barrier. Thus they can speak the local language wherever they choose to teach and we know that will create effective teaching and learning environment.
“In addition, the teachers get to also select schools that are close to families and subsequently enjoy the economic support that they so need. The steps that the need to follow to access the platform to select the school of their choice is that when they visit the same GES platform they used in their application, they should enter their college index number to verify their qualification, enter their phone number and NTC number that presupposes that before you qualify you must have written the NTC exams and pass. This is crucial since if you don’t do that it will be very difficult to be validated and for you to be successful in your application.”
