Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has cautioned the general public of fake recruitment adverts and appointment letters circulating on social media.
The service, in its statement particularly addressed to prospective applicants, stated that recruitment of non-teaching and teaching staff has not yet started.
The GES’ statement comes after the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, had announced that plans were far advanced by the government to recruit 50,000 teachers and 10,000 non-teaching staff.
After the minister announced this, social media have been awash with fake recruitment and appointment letters, which the GES has described as fake.
The GES said when the official recruitment begins, it will be communicated accordingly, and applicants are to note that the process is totally free.
The Honourable Minister for Education announced in Parliament that the GES would be recruiting about 50,000 teachers and 10,000 non-teaching staff. This is a fact and true. However, management wishes to inform the general public that this recruitment process is yet to commence.
When this official recruitment exercise commences, it will be communicated to the general public through official GES channels, including our website, as well as the national newspapers and all credible media outlets.
All GES recruitments are completely FREE. No individuals or groups are permitted to charge.
applicants any fee whatsoever for recruitment, processing, or issuance of appointment letters.”
It further advised the public to report any such activities to the nearest police station for those involved to be arrested.
The general public is hereby cautioned that the appointment letters being issued to some persons and advertisements on recruitment into the GES circulating on social media are FAKE.
The public, especially prospective applicants, are, therefore, strongly advised to disregard such fraudulent schemes. They are attempts to take advantage of the vulnerable and unsuspecting public. The general public is encouraged to report any such individuals or groups engaging in these fraudulent activities to the nearest police station for immediate action.”
