GES Announces Urgent Verification for Applicants With Date of Birth Issues – Full Details
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has issued an urgent notice to all Regional Directors regarding applicants whose requests for correction of date of birth were not approved due to discrepancies exceeding five years.
According to the circular dated 21st April 2026, the Public Services Commission (PSC) has scheduled a verification and interrogation exercise for all affected applicants.
This development is likely to interest many teaching and non-teaching applicants who have pending employment or administrative issues linked to their date of birth records.
