GTEC seeks financial clearance to recruit 2,500 teachers

The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has announced that it is seeking financial clearance from the Ministry of Education to recruit 2,500 teaching staff.

In a statement, GTEC emphasised that this recruitment is intended to alleviate the current academic workload and ensure that academic activities can resume promptly.

CETAG initiated a nationwide strike on June 14, citing the government’s failure to implement agreed-upon arbitral awards and other conditions of service for its members.

GTEC assured that once the clearance is granted, it will swiftly communicate the recruitment process to ensure the timely deployment of the new staff.

“The Commission is in serious talks with the Honourable Minister of Education for financial clearance to be granted to GTEC to recruit some two thousand five hundred (2500) teaching staff to augment the current load for academic work to commence as quickly as possible while we work with CETAG to resolve their concerns.

“GTEC will communicate to you the modalities with which this urgent staff recruitment will be expedited as soon as the clearance is provided,” the statement read
