A group of newly posted teachers from the 2022 batch of College of Education graduates are set to picket at the Ghana Education Service (GES) headquarters on Monday, June 23, to protest the delayed issuance of staff IDs and the non-payment of salaries for the past ten months.

The affected teachers—numbering 784—say they have not been paid since their appointment on August 1, 2024, despite repeated follow-ups and assurances from GES officials.

Speaking to Citi News, Solomon Opoku Gyan, a member of the group, described the situation as dire, citing financial hardship and a lack of transparency from the Service.

“We’ve worked for 10 months now without pay. We don’t even have staff IDs. Every time we visit GES, they offer excuses. It’s too much—we’re suffering,” he said, adding that the prolonged delay has taken a toll on members, with some reportedly losing their lives in the process.

The teachers are demanding swift action from GES to resolve the delays and regularize their employment status.
