Payment of Salary Arrears to Eligible GES Staff

Thousands of teachers and education workers across Ghana have waited patiently for years for the payment of their outstanding salary arrears. For many affected staff under the Ghana Education Service (GES), this issue has not only caused financial hardship but has also affected morale within the education sector.

The payment of salary arrears remains one of the most important concerns among newly recruited teachers, promoted staff, and workers whose salaries were delayed due to administrative challenges.

While several assurances have been given over time, many eligible staff continue to hope for swift action and transparency regarding the release of their funds.
