The Ghana Education Service says it has not opened its teacher recruitment portal, and has asked the public to ignore any link or message in circulation claiming otherwise.

The Service gave the warning in a notice on its official Facebook page on Sunday. It said recruitment information would come only through its official platforms.

Posts on social media had claimed the portal would open on 15 November. In June, the Service said a review of submitted applications was under way
, with shortlisted applicants due to be released on 20 July.

The notice does not say whether it covers the 6,000 community teaching assistants that the Youth Employment Agency and GES agreed to recruit this month, which is a separate scheme.

GES named four official channels for recruitment updates:

  • the official GES Facebook page
  • the official GES WhatsApp channel
  • its official spokesperson, Daniel Fenyi
  • all traditional media, on TV and radio
The Service said “unscrupulous individuals may take advantage of unsuspecting members of the public by circulating false information, demanding money or even issuing fake appointment letters.”

It urged applicants to stay vigilant and to check any message against its official channels. In September, the Cyber Security Authority warned that fraudsters were luring job seekers with fake offers by email, text message and social media.

On Friday, the Service said it had cleared salary arrears for 347 teachers recruited in 2024, though it could not verify 119 staff ID applications.
