The Ghana Education Service (GES) has firmly denied allegations circulating on social media and in some traditional media platforms about a supposed secret recruitment process within the Service. The claims, which have gone viral through a video and discussions on media platforms such as Adom FM, suggest that individuals are paying as much as GHS 25,000 to secure teaching appointments.
In an official statement released on 12th December 2025 and signed by the Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, GES clarified that the reports are false and do not reflect the reality of their recruitment procedures.
The statement explained that following the extension of financial clearance in October 2025 for the onboarding of 2024 applicants whose initial clearance had expired, the Service resumed the recruitment process. As part of the process, new appointment letters were issued particularly to those who had previously received fake ones. GES emphasized that these new letters were issued free of charge.
The Service urged the public to disregard the false claims and encouraged anyone with evidence of being asked to pay money for recruitment to report such individuals to the appropriate security agencies.
GES concluded by reaffirming that the official recruitment process remains open, transparent, and entirely free of charge. An official announcement will be made whenever financial clearance is obtained for new recruitment, and all qualified candidates will be invited to apply.
