The Ghana Education Service (GES) has received financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance to pay salaries owed to 6,249 teachers recruited in 2024.

In a statement issued on Thursday, October 16, and signed by its Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the GES said the approval will allow it to finalize all administrative steps needed to process and release the payments.

“This financial clearance covers the salaries of six thousand, two hundred and forty-nine (6,249) teachers recruited in 2024,” the statement noted.

GES assured that the necessary arrangements are being made to ensure the affected teachers are added to the mechanised payroll in time for their November 2025 salary payments. The clearance, however, expires on December 31, 2025.

Management of the Service expressed gratitude to the teachers for their patience and commitment, adding that efforts are ongoing to ensure salaries are processed accurately and on time.
