Effects of GES teachers pursuing further studies without approval?

What are the effects of GES teachers pursuing further studies without approval?

At some point, every professional teacher working for the Ghana Education Service (GES) should carefully consider continuing their education, as doing so without the GES’s approval can have unfavorable consequences.

Before taking steps to further their education, all teachers need to answer and understand these important questions.

Question 1: What are the negative consequences of enrolling in sandwich, distance, and online programs without the Director General’s approval?

Question 2: I completed my undergraduate program through distance, hybrid, or online learning methods, but I was unaware that I needed to obtain approval from the Director General prior to commencing. What are the repercussions?

Before you embark on any further study as a teacher employed under the GE, make sure to send a written request to the GES. It is crucial to obtain approval for your study, regardless of whether it is a paid study leave.

Even if you are studying through sandwich, distance, or online programs, you must still write this letter.

Since you intend to update your knowledge, your study will interfere with your work as a teacher. Once you complete a study as a teacher, whether approved by the GES or not, you expect the management of the GES to recognize your new upgrade and move you to the new salary grade that corresponds with your new qualification. For many, this is where the difficulties begin. In certain cases, employers may remove teachers who pursue further study without pay from their payroll, leading to financial difficulties during their studies and difficulties in regaining employment.
