The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dismissed claims that it is currently conducting recruitment exercises, following widespread speculation on social media and other platforms.
In a statement posted on Facebook, Hasmin Mohammed, Press Secretary to the Minister of Education, clarified that the recent financial clearance approved by Cabinet was not for new recruitment but to facilitate the payment of salaries for over 6,200 teachers who were recruited in 2024 but had expired financial clearance.
“Please be advised that the Ghana Education Service is not currently conducting any recruitment exercises. The recent financial clearance received from Cabinet is specifically intended to facilitate the payment of salaries for over 6,200 teachers who were recruited in 2024 but had expired financial clearance,” Mr. Mohammed stated.
He added that while plans are underway for the recruitment of additional teaching and non-teaching staff, the public should wait for an official announcement.
“The public will be duly informed when the official recruitment window opens,” he assured.
Mr. Mohammed also cautioned Ghanaians to rely only on official GES and Ministry of Education communication channels for accurate and verified information, warning against misinformation circulating online.
The clarification comes amid growing interest in public sector employment opportunities and the spread of fake recruitment notices on social media platforms.
