Accra, Jan. 29, GNA – The Ghana Education Service (GES) says arrangements for the promotion of qualified staff, particularly teachers, to the ranks of Director II and Director I have been completed.
A statement signed by Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations, said the Committee, with representatives from GES, the Public Services Commission, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and PricewaterhouseCoopers, had submitted its final report to GES Management.
It said extensive consultations were undertaken with all relevant stakeholders, with significant reviews and inputs from the Teacher Unions.
GES indicated that the first call for applications and the aptitude test for promotion to the ranks of Director II and Director I would be announced by the end of the first quarter of this year.
The statement said promotion to these ranks was no longer contingent on the availability of limited office vacancies as was previously the case.
“This is in line with the commitment made by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to teachers. Further details and guidelines will be communicated in due course through official GES channels only,” the statement said.
