The Ministry of Education has stated that it is unable to post graduate trainee teachers who did not complete school in 2018.
It made the statement in reaction to demands by dozens of graduate trainee teachers who on Thursday protested over their unemployment.
The teachers who represent over 3,000 teacher trainees picketed at the Ghana Education Service (GES) to demand their postings.
They accused the GES of not posting them despite the completion of their mandatory national service and licensure certification.
But speaking on Accra-based radio station, Citi FM, the Public Relations Officer for the Education Ministry, Vincent Assafuah said that the Ministry does not have the required financial clearance to cater for them all others except for those who completed their program in 2018.
He, however, directed the graduate trainee teachers who may not have applied for postings to do so, as records have revealed that not all trainee teachers who picketed at the GES premises have done so.
He further noted that the trainee teachers who undergo the application process will be engaged in due time.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Education Service has asked all unposted 2018 Trained Teachers to go to the various regional education offices to be attended to.
The Public relation Officer of the GES, Cassandra Twum Ampofo said there are interventions in place to address their situation.
