The Ghana Education Service (GES) has clarified that teachers who have recently been promoted to new ranks do not need to submit application letters or additional documents to have their salaries adjusted.
The clarification follows concerns from some newly promoted teachers who said they had been directed in certain regions and districts to submit promotion letters, application letters, and other documents for salary adjustments.
In a statement, the GES explained that teachers who are promoted to new ranks are automatically placed on the appropriate salary scale corresponding to their new positions.
The Service stressed that this established practice has not changed and no additional documentation is required specifically for salary adjustments.
The GES has therefore advised newly promoted teachers to disregard requests to submit such documents for the adjustment of their salaries.
Management said it is engaging the affected regions and districts to ensure that the established process is followed.
The Service has also urged newly promoted teachers to remain calm while the engagements continue.
