In a related development, teachers who passed the NTC exam and met all requirements for posting in the last two years are still waiting for the GES and related agencies to open the Recrutiment portal.
Reacting to the above announcement on the GES’ official Facebook page, some teachers expressed their frustration over the delay in posting instructors. According to the teachers, the GES seems not to be bothered by the delay in posting teachers. However, it is important to put on record that the GES cannot open its portal to commence Recrutiment until it has acquired the needed financial clearance for the Ministry of Finance.
