Ghana Education News | GES detects FRAUD in One Teacher One Laptop Lists, blows alarm
The Ghana Education Service has revealed that names submitted for the free Teacher Laptop project included fake names with fake IDs.
A statement by the GES asked District Directors of Education and Headteachers to validate the list sent and warned that such actions constitute fraud.
“The attention of the Management of Ghana Education Service has been drawn to the fact that some Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education in submitting the name of teachers for the laptops have added names of persons who do not qualify, including non-teaching staff and retired or separated staff.
“The indications are that in some instances some strange names have been added with fake staff IDs. District Directors of Education are requested to ask Headteachers to be responsible for the names being submitted. District Directors of Education and Headteachers are reminded that such conduct constitutes FRAUD.
“All District Directors of Education are therefore requested to validate the list which has been sent and submit an updated list by close of work on Tuesday, 31st August 2021.”
