GES Takes Bold Steps to Resolve Salary Delays and Staff Promotions

GES Reaffirms Commitment to Resolving Salary Issues of Staff

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has reiterated its dedication to resolving salary-related challenges facing its staff across the country. 

In a recent communication to Regional Directors of Education, the Service assured all employees that their welfare remains a top priority, particularly with regard to salary reactivation, promotions, and upgrading matters.

According to the update, from January to March 2025, a total of 1,579 salary reactivation requests were submitted to the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD).

Of these, 1,417 cases have already been successfully resolved. GES acknowledged the impact such delays have on staff morale and productivity and expressed appreciation for the patience of affected employees.

Management also highlighted ongoing collaborative efforts with the Public Services Commission, the CAGD, and various teacher unions to ensure that all outstanding concerns are resolved as soon as possible. 

These include not only salary issues but also delayed promotions and upgrading across all ranks.

In 2024, out of 54,227 staff who passed the promotion process, 50,458 were placed on their new ranks. GES assured that the remaining cases from the 2023 promotion batch are being processed, with expectations that all affected staff will be placed on the appropriate salary scales by the end of May 2025.

Furthermore, the Service has directed all Regional Education Offices to immediately begin processing outstanding lower-rank promotions and upgrades to avoid further delays.

This latest move by GES signals a proactive approach toward addressing long-standing administrative delays and affirms its commitment to supporting the professional growth and financial stability of its workforce.
