Group of teachers draft a letter to Director General of GES ; Very Deep
A group of unrecognised teachers have drafted letter to Director general of Ghana Education Service that they urgently needed attention on their grievances.
This letter is moving fast on the internet and our portal has shown great concern with it, due to that we decided to publish so that it might reach to the top there so kindly share.
The letter reads below;
Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum
Dr. Eric Nkansah Dear Dr. Eric Nkasah,
We, a group of dedicated teachers, humbly write to you with a deep sense of concern and urgency. Since 2013, 2014, and 2015, we have passionately served this noble profession, shaping young minds and contributing to Ghana’s future. We apologize for troubling you, but our situation demands attention.
After completing our studies, we were posted and paid for only three months, despite working for several months. This injustice occurred during the previous administration, and we were further disappointed by the policy introduced by JM, which only paid three months’ salary arrears. This decision left us with significant unpaid salary arrears, contradicting the understanding that governance is a continuous process.
We were dismayed when you claimed that the previous administration created the so-called legacy arrears and that your administration cleared them all in 2017. This statement is inaccurate, and we request clarification on who received these payments and the mode of payment.
Dr. Bawumia’s promise to alleviate our suffering, echoed in his campaign slogan, has proven to be a political deception. Our rightful upgrades have been denied for eighteen months, creating an unfair divide among teachers. Our juniors are receiving postings while we remain stagnant. We implore you to address this injustice and secure our upgrades.
We believe that our dedication and good deeds should be recognized and rewarded, regardless of political affiliations. We are all Ghanaians, working towards a common goal. We sincerely hope you will consider our plea and take prompt action to address our concerns.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Matthew Opoku Permit
