The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that the government has granted approval for the extension of financial clearance initially issued in 2024 to facilitate the payment of outstanding salaries for staff recruited during that period.
In a circular signed by the Acting Director-General of GES, Prof. Ernest Kofi Davis, management indicated that the extension is intended to ensure that all unpaid staff recruited in 2024 are duly mechanised and placed on the government payroll by the end of November 2025.
According to the statement, all Regional, Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Directors of Education are to ensure that the required documents of affected validated staff—both those who have been assigned staff IDs but are yet to receive payment and those without staff IDs, including graduates from Colleges of Education, other universities, and non-teaching staff—are compiled and submitted promptly.
The submission of these documents must reach the Human Resource Management and Development (HRMD) Secretariat at the GES Headquarters no later than Wednesday, 22nd October 2025.
Management emphasized that this directive is to be treated as urgent and must be strictly complied with to facilitate the smooth processing of all outstanding cases.
“The Ghana Education Service counts on the usual cooperation of all regional and district directors to ensure a timely and successful completion of this exercise,” the statement concluded.
The circular was copied to key management officials, including the Chairman of the GES Council, the Acting Deputy Director-Generals for Management Services and Quality & Access, the Director of HRMD, the Chief Internal Auditor, the Acting Director of Finance, and the Head of Payroll at the GES Headquarters.
