Information available to First News has it that 29,465 teachers across the country who sat for this year’s promotion examination and passed but have since not been put on the right rank and they are therefore planning to stage a demonstration.
According to information gathered First News these teachers have not even received their promotion letters to enable them to fill the necessary forms for them to be placed on their new grade.
An aggrieved teacher, Charles Manu who spoke to First News said, “It is worrying that as we speak, we have not received our promotion letters since June that the results came out, so when are we going to be placed on our new scale.”
Mr. Manu described the Director General of the Ghana Education Service, Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa and his team as incompetent people who do not care about the welfare of teachers but always want teachers to put in their best.
He also described the various teacher associations thus the Ghana National Association of Teachers(GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT)and Coalition of Concerned Teachers(CCT) as toothless entities who have reneged on their role and are only interested in deducting dues from teachers.
