GES to recruit 24,000 graduate teachers in 2024: Will diploma holders be recruited as well? If not, why?
In 2024, Ghana Education Service (GES) is expected to beef up its teaching personnel with the recruitment of graduate teachers; however, many are asking if the GES would recruit diploma holders as well since teachers with such qualifications are also needed in 2024.
GES to recruit 24000 graduate teachers in 2024?
According to a blog post by Kofi Asare of EduWatch, the GES would need no less than 24,000 qualified graduate teachers. When the recruitment begins and ends, the newly recruited teachers will be expected to help develop the educated minds of Ghanaian children in both basic and secondary schools.
Will diploma holders be recruited?
Currently, there are several qualified teachers with diplomas and degrees waiting patiently for the recruitment portal to be opened.
However, what happens to diploma-holding teachers who qualify for posting if the GES decides to recruit only graduate teachers?
The big concern on everyone’s mind among competent and motivated graduates waiting for their chance to make a difference in Ghana’s education system is whether or not diploma holders will be accepted for the 2024 GES recruitment. The inclusion of diploma holders in this recruitment cycle is still up in the air, but potential teachers are nonetheless getting excited about the GES’s formal announcement and the application module’s following availability.
Additionally, be sure to check out the GES recruiting application guidance for 2024/25.
Many have speculated about the news, as is typical with such announcements, but the Ghana Education Service’s official position is crucial. Any information circulating about teacher recruitment is only speculation until the GES officially announces its plans and discloses the particular qualifications for candidates.

Teachers who meet the usual basic requirements are advised to put their documents for applying together and be on the lookout for updates and a press release that will announce the opening of the graduate teacher recruitment portal.
