Teacher unions remind GES of unresolved problems that need to be resolved
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has received praise from teacher unions throughout the nation for changing the promotion year from 2017 to 2018 to reflect the necessary number of years, which is four years in the grade.
This comes after a discussion in August 2020 regarding relevant issues pertaining to the various Unions in the nation between the Teacher Unions, including the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, Ghana (CCT-GH), and the GES.

The unions informed the GES of the concerns still open for discussion in a letter written to the director-general of the GES.
In their list of concerns, the unions mentioned things like “Payment of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) allowance, Grievance resulting out of Promotion to the Grade of Director I & II, and Grievance arising out of payment of allowance to Teachers in disadvantaged communities.”
The remaining issues are “Lower ranks promotions and related matters, Review of the 2020 Collective Agreement between GES and the Teaching Staff inside the GES, and National Teaching Council (CPD) points.”
The unions stated they hope for a prompt resolution to these problems.
