The Ghana Education Service has come under high scrutiny in recent times due to the supposed ‘,Lost in trust’ of the Education Service responsible for Pre-tertiary Education in Ghana.
Workers at the various Education Offices are known for receiving monies illegally from Teachers before processing their documents, a work the officers have been employed to do and are being paid for.
Though these issues were only regarded allegations without evidence, EducationGhana too the risk to investigate the supposed educational calamity to help bring an end to this disaster.
Credible evidence gathered by EducationGhana indicates that the Atwima Kwanwoma District Education Directorate in the Ashanti Region is still in the ‘criminal act’ .
The District Director named Mr.Richard has directed all teachers eligible for promotion and Confirmation to pay some specified amounts of money to a supposed Mobile Money Account before or during the confirmation/Promotion Process.
For Confirmation, the teachers were made to pay Gh¢50 and Gh¢100 for Promotion.
EducationGhana’s further checks indicate that some of the teachers, after the processes involved in their respect activities, needed to bargain with the officers to reduce the money for them to pay.
Teachers mostly affected were those who hadn’t been paid since they begun the service.
Some of the teachers needed to be forced to do the possible top ups of the monies requested.
According to close sources, teachers are been intimidated for a very long time in the district but there was the fear who ever makes any utterance will be transferred to very deprived communities.
