GES Finally Announces Dates for 2025 Promotion Letters and Salary Placement
The Ghana Education Service has announced when promotion letters will be distributed to teachers who passed the recent promotion examination. GES has also provided a date for placing successful candidates on their appropriate salary scales.
In an official statement dated 28 July 2026, GES said it is working to complete the promotion letters. The Service assured affected teachers that the process is receiving serious attention.
Promotion Letters to Be Sent from 15 August
According to GES, the promotion letters will be dispatched to the Regional Education Directorates from 15 August 2026.
The regional offices will then distribute the letters to teachers who qualified for promotion. Therefore, successful candidates may have to wait for further communication from their respective regional, municipal, metropolitan or district education offices.
GES did not provide separate distribution dates for the various regions. However, the statement indicates that the dispatch process will begin from 15 August.
Successful Teachers to Be Placed on New Salary Scales
GES also stated that qualified teachers will be placed on the appropriate salary scales by 31 August 2026.
This means the Service expects the salary placement process to be completed before the end of August. However, the statement did not provide details about payment of salary differences or any possible arrears.
Affected teachers should therefore wait for further official communication on how the salary adjustment will reflect on their payslips.
What Successful Candidates Should Do
Successful teachers should continue to monitor official updates from GES and their education directorates. They should also ensure that their personal and employment records are accurate.
In addition, teachers should keep copies of their promotion results and other relevant documents. These may be needed when collecting promotion letters or resolving any issues with salary placement.
Teachers are advised to rely on official communication from GES. They should avoid paying money to anyone who claims they can speed up the release of promotion letters or salary placement.
Final Note
GES says promotion letters will be sent to the Regional Education Directorates from 15 August 2026. Qualified teachers are also expected to be placed on their appropriate salary scales by 31 August 2026.
Successful candidates should remain patient and follow updates from their regional and district education offices. They should also check their payslips after the salary placement process has been completed.
