Unveiling the Truth: GES Debunks 'Secret Recruitment' and Letter Sale Allegations
In a recent statement, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has vehemently denied the widespread rumors of a clandestine recruitment process and the sale of teaching appointment letters. The claims, which have been circulating on social media and traditional platforms, suggest that individuals are being lured into paying substantial sums, up to GH¢25,000, to secure their recruitment into the Service.
The statement, issued on December 12, 2025, by the Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, categorically refutes these allegations, labeling them as false and misleading. It emphasizes that the GES adheres to transparent and established procedures for recruitment, which are open to all qualified candidates.
The GES clarifies that after the extension of financial clearance for the onboarding of 2024 applicants in October 2025, the Service resumed the onboarding process, resulting in the issuance of new appointment letters for those who were initially recruited with fake letters. These new letters were provided free of charge, ensuring a fair and equitable process.
The statement also serves as a cautionary tale, urging the public to be wary of individuals or entities claiming to facilitate recruitment in exchange for money. It encourages victims to report such incidents to security agencies, emphasizing the importance of transparency and integrity in all recruitment processes.
Reiterating its commitment to open and transparent practices, the GES assures job seekers that the recruitment process is entirely free of charge and invites all qualified candidates to apply once financial clearance is obtained. This official announcement will be made publicly, ensuring a fair and inclusive selection process.
In summary, the GES strongly denies the allegations of secret recruitment and the sale of appointment letters, emphasizing its commitment to transparency and integrity. The Service encourages the public to remain vigilant and report any fraudulent activities to the appropriate authorities.
