The Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially opened applications for the recruitment of passionate teachers into various teaching positions across the country.
A statement signed by the Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, asked qualified educators to join the service in a bid to bolster the nation’s teaching workforce and enhance 21st-century learning outcomes.
“Applicant must be in good standing with the National Teaching Council (NTC) and possess a valid Teaching License,” the statement said.
It added that applicants must also “be ready and willing to accept posting to deprived districts.”
The statement further stated that the recruitment is open to holders of Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degrees as well as graduates with relevant first degrees who have completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE), Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), or hold a Diploma in Basic Education.
According to the release, an applicant must complete National Service.
Successful candidates will be expected to demonstrate strong communication and classroom management skills and the ability to integrate 21st-century technology into teaching and learning. They will also be required to support learners with diverse needs, apply varied assessment methods, and adhere to the National Teaching Standards and Code of Conduct.
“Participate in relevant continuous professional development sessions to stay current,” the statement added.
Interested applicants are required to apply online via the official GES recruitment portal, where they must complete an application form and upload supporting documents. These include academic certificates, National Service Certificate, NTC license, Ghana Card, passport-sized photographs, and valid contact details.
GES noted that documents can be submitted in both image and PDF formats.
A key condition in this year’s recruitment is the emphasis on willingness to accept postings to deprived districts — a long-standing challenge in Ghana’s education sector.
