Teachers in Ghana have started shouldering each other, jostling, and seeking supremacy as Ghana gets ready to welcome her 1st Batch of CoE degree graduates.

1st Batch of CoE Degree Graduates To Overtake Diploma Holders Comment

A commentator had this to say “The first batch of degree teachers from the colleges will be coming out soon and they will be placed on PS. It is rather a pity the various Unions do not see anything wrong with that.”

“Teachers are protesting about upgrading especially those who have done their degrees and are not on PS.” Some teachers completed their degree as far back as 2018 to date nothing yet nothing has been done. The Unions should do something else the newly trained degree holders will become our seniors. That’s my opinion as such.” The teacher posted.

Teachers with Diplomas in education have been given a window of opportunity to complete a one-year top-up to help them meet the basic requirements of the GES. The Ministry of education has disclosed that, in a few years to come, the minimum qualification for teachers would be 1st Degree.

Tension seems to be mounting and the traffic that has held the promotion and upgrade of teachers need to be dealt with as soon as possible to deal with this uninteresting spectacle teachers are going through.
