GES Sacks 27 Teachers Over Fake Appointment Letters

Twenty-seven teachers in some basic schools in the North East Region have been dismissed by the Ghana Education Service (GES) for allegedly joining the service with fake appointment letters.

The victims are said to have secured postings to the various schools with fake appointment and posting letters bearing the signature of the director-general of GES, Prof Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa.

The North East Regional public relations officer of GES, Tongo Yidana who disclosed this to the Daily Graphic explained that the affected did not follow the employment procedures of the GES to join the Service.

“The victims are believed to have been scammed by some individuals who forged the Director-General’s signature to get them the appointment letters.”

“When we checked from the database, we realized that their particulars cannot be found there but they were posted to the schools where they are teaching”, he said.

He indicated that the matter had been reported to the police for further investigation.
