Ghana Education Service (GES) announced on Friday, November 13, 2026, that it has processed 347 salary arrears cases involving teachers recruited in 2024 and forwarded them to the Controller and Accountant‑General's Department for validation and payment.
The service said the cases were part of a one‑month exercise that began after it opened a Help Desk at its headquarters on September 8, 2026, to receive individual complaints from the affected teachers.
"The Help Desk was created to receive individual complaints from teachers recruited in 2024 who had concerns relating to their salaries and to facilitate their prompt resolution," GES said.
Out of 471 complaints received, 347 related to outstanding salary arrears, while 124 concerned the issuance of staff identification cards. All 347 arrears cases have been processed and sent to the CAGD for validation and payment.
Staff ID complaints
GES reported that five of the 124 staff‑ID complaints have been resolved, with the teachers expected to receive their IDs in the coming weeks. The remaining 119 cases could not be verified because the individuals had no records in the GES database and their appointment letters could not be authenticated. Regional Directors responsible for the teachers in question have been queried about the presence of unverified staff in classrooms.
GES assured teachers whose cases were successfully processed that they will receive the appropriate salaries, including any outstanding arrears.
