3 Reasons 2018 Batch Is Added To 2017 Batch Of Teachers For This Year’s G.E.S Promotion Aptitude.

3 Reasons 2018 Batch Is Added To 2017 Batch Of Teachers For This Year’s G.E.S Promotion Aptitude.

Teaser: Is it an attempt to scam IMF or to calm teachers ahead of the possible negligible salary increment for next year?

The question then would be why would a new letter be released to include 2018 in less than a week?

Highlights

Promotions in Ghana Education Service are noted to be conducted for single year batches. However, on a few occasions, two batches are combined for promotion interviews and/or aptitude tests.

A circular from Ghana Education Service announced teachers who were promoted on or before the year 2018 qualified to apply for this year’s promotion.

The implication is that two main batches of teachers, 2017 and 2018, are allowed to apply.

Though the decision to add the 2018 batch to the earlier batches may have been considered as one of those occasions that G.E.S would combine later batches with earlier batches, the alleged earlier letter that was released kept the qualifying year at 2017.

The question then would be why would a new letter be released to include 2018 in less than a week? The answers are found in these possible reasons for the 2018 batch being added to the 2017 batch.

1. Negotiations for an IMF bailout are yet to gain steam. Wages and salaries are one major point the negotiations will like to do something about, especially when the program starts. Promoting teachers who are due next year earlier could be an attempt to lock in the non-negotiable status of teachers who will be due for promotion next year.

2. Teachers are the foundation of every community in Ghana and elections can not be won without taking a foothold among the teaching fraternity. Promoting some category of teachers earlier will definitely serve a political purpose, no matter how one looks at it.

3. News about salary negotiations for public sector workers is yet to be made public, unlike in the past where an agreed percentage increment for the following year was announced before the month of October. The government having taxed a Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) agreed to pay public sector workers in an indication that negotiations for next year’s salary will be tough. Probably in a manner similar to the situation where the government abolished road tolls to introduce an E-levy. It is possible that attempts to promote some teachers earlier could be an attempt to use that action as a bargaining chip to calm teachers, who are the largest labour union and give a meagre salary increment next year. In this case, all other sectors will be schemed in a similar manner as well.
