The Ghana Education Service (GES) has revoked all appointments and recruitments of Teaching and Non-Teaching staff who have yet to be placed on the government payroll.
The directive, which takes immediate effect, follows an order from the Chief of Staff, as stated in a letter from the Office of the President dated February 10, 2025.
In an official statement issued on February 17, 2025, and signed by the Acting Director-General of GES, Prof. Ernest Kofi Davis, all Regional, District, Municipal, and Metropolitan Directors of Education have been instructed to ensure strict compliance with the order.
The statement clarified that affected personnel would not be added to the payroll, effectively nullifying their appointments.
The directive by the Chief of Staff affects all public sector appointments made by the Akufo-Addo government after the 7 December 2024 general elections, which the New Patriotic Party lost.
