Unemployed Trained Teachers demand update as deadline for recruitment results expires

The Coalition of Unemployed Trained Teachers 2023 (CUTT 2023) called on the Ghana Education Service (GES) on Friday, July 24, to issue an official update on the release of the 2026 teacher recruitment results. This call followed the expiration of the latest timeline announced by the Minister for Education, who had assured applicants that the recruitment results would be released on that date after an earlier delay attributed to technical challenges.

CUTT 2023 stated that the recruitment process has been characterized by repeated postponements. The Minister initially announced July 1, 2026, as the date for the release of results, but this deadline passed without an announcement. Subsequently, the Ghana Education Service released a recruitment timeline indicating that shortlisted candidates would be announced by July 20, which also elapsed without publication. The Education Minister later explained during the Government Accountability Series that system-related challenges were responsible for the delay and assured applicants the results would be released on Friday, July 24. CUTT 2023 is urging the GES to honor this commitment or issue a communiqué informing applicants of the exact release time or explaining further delays.
