TEACHER AGITATIONS FOR GES EMPLOYMENT
After the nurses, i hear the teachers are also planning to hit the streets over delayed recruitment.
Some claim they have been home since 2020, which is concerning.
Perhaps, every week, Eduwatch receives more petitions from teachers seeking GES recruitment than the GES itself.
Teacher recruitment is a function of cash.
Fact is, between 2020 and 2024, over GHC 1 billion was invested in Teacher Trainees Allowance, a wasteful political policy, in the presence of a guarantor free student loan scheme where your Ghana Card is all you need to access.
The amount spent as allowances is part of the salary budget of the Ministry of Education. It is not manna from heaven. It has an opportunity cost.
That amount could have employed and paid the salaries of at least 4,000 teachers every year.
For those in school, anytime you eat free, remember the opportunity cost is 4,000 teachers recruitment forgone.
The political parties have started promising another allowa. Ask them to cancel the allowa and add the amount to your recruitment budget each year.
You cant eat your cake and have it.
