KEY TAKEAWAY

All prospective applicants will be required to submit their academic certificates to GTEC for evaluation and verification before recruitment.

WHAT THE DIRECTIVE MEANS

According to the Commission, applicants seeking recruitment into agencies under the Ministry of Education must present their academic credentials for validation.

These include:

• Diplomas
• Bachelor’s Degrees
• Master’s Degrees
• Other tertiary-level qualifications

GTEC will be responsible for verifying the authenticity of these credentials to ensure that only qualified individuals proceed in the recruitment process.

WHY THIS HAS BECOME NECESSARY

The introduction of this requirement is largely due to growing concerns over:

• The use of fake certificates
• Qualifications obtained from unaccredited institutions
• Inconsistencies in academic records

By introducing this verification process, GTEC aims to protect the integrity of the recruitment exercise and ensure that only genuine qualifications are accepted.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR APPLICANTS

This new requirement adds an important step to the recruitment process. Unlike previous years, applicants will now undergo a formal verification stage before they can be considered for posting.

Prospective applicants should take note of the following:

• Only authentic certificates will be accepted
• Certificates must be from accredited institutions
• All academic records must be consistent and verifiable

Failure to meet these requirements may lead to disqualification.
