Teachers whose appointments were revoked after the assumption of office of the new government are yet to be reinstated after the Ghana Education Service was directed to do so.
Some of the teachers have already gone through the validation process as directed.
But they are in a limbo on their reinstatement, a situation that has affected academic activities in schools where they offered their services.
In a letter issued on 5th March, the Ghana Education Service requested all staff affected by the revocation of appointment to undergo a validation process for reinstatement.
The release further indicated that the exercise was to clean up the database of the staff of the service.
But after going through the validation process, the teachers say they have yet to be reinstated.
A leader of the concerned teachers, Emmanuel Ofori, is demanding that the Ghana Education Service take necessary steps to ensure they return to the classroom.
“We call on the GES and relevant stakeholders to resume all halted processes related to our reinstatement immediately. Also, they should release regional posting letters to enable affected teachers to report to their respective schools,” he said.
They further emphasized, “We also demand that they work on all staff IDs for all reinstated teachers who are at post and other stages of appointment processes to facilitate salary processing and access to official services. Also, release all outstanding salaries owed to affected teachers since their initial appointment period.”
According to the teachers, their absence is having a toll on their students and they want all interest groups in education to be concerned.
Mr. Ofori added, “We want to return to the classroom, serve our country, and contribute to building the nation’s future through education.”
