Ghanaian Teacher Unions Reject GES Staff Data Directive

Teacher unions reject GES directive on staff data submission, demand withdrawal of letter

Three major teacher unions have rejected a directive from the Ghana Education Service (GES) requiring public school staff to submit personal records as part of a nationwide job evaluation and staff validation exercise. The unions — the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and PRETAG — say the directive is unnecessary and burdensome, and have called for its immediate withdrawal.
