B/A teachers angry
- Over delayed promotion
A number of teachers in the Brong Ahafo Region have raised eye-brows over what they consider the continual delay of the Ministry of Education in promoting them to higher ranks in the teaching profession.
According to the teachers, the protracted delay in putting them on the right higher ranks is seriously affecting their output.
“The lack of motivation from above is seriously affecting our performances in the classrooms as well feel we are not being appreciated by the powers-that-be,” a teacher said.
When Today checked at the Sunyani Municipal Education Office and other education offices in the Brong Ahafo Region, officials confirmed that the promotion of the teachers is pending and that they have submitted documents on it to the Education office.
According to a source at the office, the documents have been forwarded to the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department for their perusal, but that was over a year ago.
That notwithstanding, Today understands, there has been a refusal on the part of the teachers’ authorities to promote the teachers as stated in the service conditions of the teaching profession.
According to the teachers, not even Certificate ‘A’ teachers, who have obtained top-up diploma or completed the university, have been promoted to the right rank.
A case in point is Mr. Charles Osei, a teacher in one of the public schools in the region.
He seized the opportunity to appeal to the Minister of Education, Mrs. Betty Mould-Iddrisu, and the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to use their high offices to draw the attention of the Controller and Accountants General Department to their promotion documents.
He said: “I completed the University of Cape Coast (UCC) in 2009 and have filled the necessary documents for promotion to the rank of Principal Superintendent, but I have not been promoted yet.
“I am therefore appealing to the GES to do something about my situation,” he said.
