The GES Promotion Process

The promotion of workers in the Ghana Education Service is based on further studies ( advancement of education ) by the GES staff or years of service as a GES employee.

The GES states in its conditions that promotions are based on two basic criteria which are; by further education and by number of years in service. The only time teachers get to be promoted based on further studies is when the teacher is below the rank of a Principal Superintendent. Afterwards, all other promotions are based on the number of years served on a current rank which ranges from four to seven years.

After completing a bachelors degree in any educational field, teachers are automatically qualified for the post of Senior superintendent. On the other hand, if a teacher has served for a a considerable number of years in, the teacher qualifies for promotion to their required field, in such instance apply for GES promotion and undergo a GES promotion interview or aptitude test.

After the teacher receives a  GES promotion letter, the teacher must undergo a process called ‘upgrading’ for the acquired promotion rank to reflect in their salaries. After a successful upgrading,  the teacher is graded on promotion rank and this rank results in a meager increment in salary.

Changes To The GES Promotion Process
