GES Sets the Record Straight on CPD Allowance and Teacher Recruitment Rumours. Recently, a widely circulated message on social media has sparked concern among teachers nationwide, claiming that the Professional Development (CPD) and Digital Allowances had been cancelled. The circulating information generated significant anxiety across the teaching community, prompting the leadership of the teachers’ representative forum to seek official clarification. To address the matter, they held a meeting with the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to obtain accurate information. The discussions made it unequivocally clear that the delay in disbursing the CPD allowance was not the fault of the Ministry of Education or the Ghana Education Service (GES). Instead, the holdup resulted from a technical issue at the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD), which temporarily disrupted the payment process.  The CAGD has now assured that the CPD allowance will be fully ...

GES Must Apologize to Parents Over 2025 WASSCE Results – Spokesperson to Education Minister. The spokesperson for Yaw Osei Adutwum, Mr. Yaw Opoku Mensah, has strongly criticized the Ghana Education Service (GES) following its recent press release on the 2025 WASSCE results.  He described the statement as “a shameful political attempt to cover up leadership failure,” insisting that the GES should take responsibility for the poor performance rather than defending results that have left thousands of parents deeply disappointed.  According to Mr. Mensah, interventions that previously strengthened student performance have been abandoned, creating the conditions for the sharp decline, and a clear lack of urgency among GES management has further compromised preparation, leaving students poorly equipped for the examination. Mr. Mensah pointed out that several key programmes have been discontinued, including the Academic Intervention Grant designed to provide extra teaching support in ...
