GES to Announce Way Forward on Delayed 2025 Teacher Promotion Placements
The Ghana Education Service is expected to announce the way forward on the delayed placement of teachers who successfully completed the 2025 promotion process. This follows continued engagement between the Ghana National Association of Teachers and the relevant authorities.
Many successful candidates are still waiting to be officially placed on their new ranks. The delay has created concern among affected teachers because promotion placement is connected to career progression and other related benefits.
GNAT Raises Concern Over the Delay
GNAT says it is concerned about the continued delay in placing deserving teachers who went through the 2025 promotion process successfully. The Association acknowledged that the situation is affecting the professional expectations of the teachers involved.
According to a statement issued by Isaac Baah, Head of Compensation and Benefits at GNAT, affected teachers have waited for the authorities to complete the placement process. However, he did not explain the cause of the delay.
GNAT Engages the Relevant Authorities
The Association said the office of its General Secretary took up the matter with the relevant authorities more than a week ago. Since then, GNAT has continued to engage the institutions responsible for resolving the delay.
GNAT explained that the engagement is intended to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to address the issue. The Association has also assured members that it will continue pursuing the matter until a satisfactory outcome is achieved.
GES Expected to Release an Official Roadmap
According to the GNAT update, GES is expected to issue a letter outlining the roadmap for resolving the delayed promotion placements. The communication is expected to explain the steps that will be taken on the matter.
GNAT indicated that the letter could be released within the coming hours. Therefore, affected teachers should watch for an official communication from GES instead of relying on unverified messages circulating on social media.
GNAT Assures Affected Teachers
GNAT has assured teachers that it remains committed to protecting their interests and welfare. The Association said it will continue to engage the relevant authorities until the placement issue is resolved.
It also thanked members for their patience, understanding and continued support. The update was signed by Isaac Baah, Head of Compensation and Benefits at GNAT, on behalf of the General Secretary.
Final Note
Teachers waiting for their 2025 promotion placements should look out for the expected letter from GES. The official communication should provide clearer information on the roadmap and the next steps for affected candidates.
Meanwhile, teachers should rely on updates from GES and recognised teacher unions. EduTechGhana will publish the details when the promised communication is released.
