Pre-Tertiary Education Unions in Ghana have registered their displeasure over the re-appointment offer handed to the outgoing Deputy Director General (MS) by the service.
The unions are not enthused about the move by the GES and have called on the Managers of the GES to ensure all persons who have retired per their age but are still at post are asked to vacate their posts.
The unions called on Mr. Anthony Boateng to respectfully decline the offer made to him. The leadership of the unions further called on the management of GES to ensure all persons who have retired or have obtained their retirement age but are at the post to be asked to hand over and proceed on their compulsory retirement.
“The Leadership of the Unions in Pre-Tertiary Education haven accessed the situation and concerns call on the former Deputy Director (MS) of the Ghana Education Service, Mr. Anthony Boateng to respectfully decline the offer from the President and the Ministry of Education.”
“We also call on the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service to direct all retired persons in the Ghana Education Service to hand over immediately to the next in line and proceed with their compulsory retirement.” The press statement indicated.
The unions have also indicated that effective 30th September 2022 their members would disregard any directives issued by persons who are supposed to be on retirement but are still at post.
“If by 30th September 2022 such persons are still at post, we call on our members to disregard directives issued by these persons” The press statement said
