It will be the first time in Ghana’s history that teachers will be posted for National Service.
The immediate past secretary of the association, Ekwow Painstil Gyan, on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen Friday, said he sees the ministry’s action as a deliberate ploy to deny them jobs.

The group says they will resist any attempt by the government to make them do their national service instead of employing them as teachers right away.
