The aggrieved teachers from the 2022 batch of Colleges of Education-trained graduates have ceased their picketing after receiving guarantees from the Ghana Education Service (GES) that their overdue salary would be paid by the end of July.
On Monday, June 23, 2025, teachers gathered outside the GES headquarters to demand explanations for months of unpaid salaries and delays in issuing staff identity numbers.
Speaking to Citi News on Tuesday, June 24, the group’s spokesperson, Eric Darfuor, stated that the GES’s Public Relations Officer told them that their complaints were handled and that salary payments will begin by the end of July.
“The PRO stated that there has been an official communiqué from GES; therefore, we have temporarily ceased our picketing and hope to receive our salaries by the end of July. The PRO stated that they are in the last stages of settling our issue, therefore we will receive our salary very soon.
“So we are waiting and waiting for the very soon, by the end of July, so when the time is due, and we do not hear anything from them, we will come back again stronger.”
The group said it would continue to monitor the situation and take protest actions if the pledges are not kept.
