The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has requested financial clearance from the Ministry of Education to recruit 2,500 new teaching staff.
This move aims to ease the current academic workload and facilitate the prompt resumption of academic activities.
GTEC’s action comes in response to a nationwide strike initiated by the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) on June 14, due to the government’s failure to implement agreed-upon arbitral awards and other service conditions.
Once the financial clearance is approved, GTEC will promptly announce the recruitment process to ensure the new staff can be deployed in a timely manner.
“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.
