GES gives statistics for 2022 first batch degree holders recruitment

A total of 21,010 first-batch degree holders who completed Colleges of Education in the 2022 academic year submitted applications to be recruited into service, the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has said.

Out of the 21,010, the GES Director-General, Dr Eric Nkansah addressing the media at a press briefing said 12,748 graduates from the 46 public Colleges of Education were qualified to be recruited into service to teach.

“We wish to inform the general public that all the 2022 graduates from Public Colleges of Education who applied for recruitment via the www.gespromotions.gov.gh platform and satisfied all the requirements should visit the portal from 5th July to 31st July 2024 to select their preferred Region, District, and School,” Dr Eric said at the press briefing.

The Director-General added that “The ‘self-posting’ recruitment module has the benefit of getting newly trained teachers to be posted to regions where language will not be a barrier.

Thus, they can speak the local language (L1) to create a more effective teaching and learning environment. In addition, the teachers get the opportunity to select schools close to their families and enjoy the associated economic support.”
