Members of a group calling itself the Coalition of Unemployed Graduate Basic School Teachers, are unhappy with how teachers are recruited by the Ghana Education Service (GES).
According to the coalition, during recruitments, GES does not prioritize basic school teachers trained by the various universities.
The coalition says a trajectory of the employment module implored by the GES has instead been in favour of graduate teachers from the Colleges of Education.
The coalition believes that its members are qualified and competent to deliver on duties assigned them.
Mr. Johnson Baffoe Essilfie, the convener of the group, in an interview also called on the Ghana Education Service to release their postings immediately.
In a related story, the Ministry of Education has announced a limited placement for the 2018 batch of graduate teacher trainees who have not been posted.
Some members of the group were arrested in January 2020 by the Ministries Police for illegally picketing at the premises of the Ghana Education Service to demand postings
The Public Relations Officer of the Ministry, Ekow Vincent Assafuah said his outfit was also working to get financial clearance for the teachers.
He further indicated that without the clearance from the Finance Ministry, the teachers cannot be posted or engaged.
