The Ministry of Education’s budgetary approval is being sought by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) in order to hire 2,500 teachers. GTEC underlined in a statement that the goal of this hiring is to reduce the amount of work that needs to be done in the classroom right now so that classes may start back up as soon as possible.
On June 14, CETAG declared a statewide walkout in response to the government’s refusal to carry out arbitral rulings that had been mutually agreed upon and other requirements of service for its members. GTEC promised that as soon as the clearance is given, it will promptly notify all parties involved in the hiring process to guarantee the new employees’ prompt deployment.
The statement read “The Commission is in serious talks with the Honourable Minister of Education for financial clearance to be granted to GTEC to recruit some two thousand five hundred (2500) teaching staff to augment the current load for academic work to commence as quickly as possible while we work with CETAG to resolve their concerns.
