The Ghana Educational Service has issued an update regarding the challenges associated with a portal used by teachers to submit their promotional application forms.
According to a Facebook post on August 28th, the GES guarantees that the original date and deadline will be extended after the resolution of the technical issues they are currently facing.
“Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every eligible teacher who has served at least four years on their current rank and is due for promotion is fully supported to go through a stress-free application process.
“We, therefore, encourage all prospective applicants to remain calm while the technical team works diligently. As soon as the portal is restored, applicants will be duly informed to proceed with their submissions,” the statement stated.
Eligibility criteria include:
Deputy Director – Must have attained the rank of Assistant Director I in or before 2020 and remained at the post.
Assistant Director I – Must have been promoted to Assistant Director II in or before 2020 under the same conditions.
Assistant Director II – Must have held the rank of Principal Superintendent in or before 2020.
Principal Superintendent – Must have attained the rank of Senior Superintendent I in or before 2020.
GES fuirther explained that while teachers who rely on Master’s or PhD degrees must make sure the program is GES-approved and received after their most recent promotion, those who have an acceptable undergraduate degree will be put at the Principal Superintendent level immediately. Promotions beyond Principal Superintendent will only be considered for certifications obtained in or before 2022.
