A growing number of frustrated newly posted teachers from Colleges of Education in the Ashanti Region marched to the Ghana Education Service (GES) headquarters in Accra on Monday, April 14, 2025. Their goal was clear: demand payment for salaries owed over the past eight months.

The teachers said they’ve worked tirelessly without compensation and blamed delays on issues tied to ID documentation. They believe these ID-related challenges have blocked their salary processing.

In response, the group’s leadership secured a private meeting with GES Director-General, Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, to directly present their grievances.

Several teachers shared their frustrations with Citi News. Abdul Majeed, one of the affected individuals, said, “We’re here because many of us haven’t been paid for eight months. Some have received their salaries, but many of us haven’t. We want answers. The feedback wasn’t very satisfying, but we remain hopeful.”

Another teacher expressed concern about the back-and-forth between offices.

“When you contact the Controller’s office, they say our entrance forms are missing. The regional office gives a completely different explanation. So we decided to speak directly with the Director-General. He promised to follow up. If there’s no payment this month, we expect it next month. If not, we’ll be back here again.”

Following the meeting, the group’s leader, Adomako Korankye, revealed that the GES had formed a committee to address the concerns.

“The Director-General assured us of quick action. A committee has been created, and we’re part of it to help speed things up. But we won’t feel relieved until the money reflects in our accounts—that’s our priority,” Korankye stated.
