This forms part of efforts by the GES to sanitise the country’s educational system to ensure that only qualified persons are employed to teach.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has indicated that the over 400 teachers who presented fake certificates for employment will be handed over to the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI).

The Director General of GES, Jacob Korr said the Education Ministry identified the culprits and according to him, the number is likely to increase because more than 200 of them were identified in one district.

Meanwhile, the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) says the admittance of recruitment of fake teachers is an indictment on the GES.

“Is the Director General is admitting that the Ghana Education Service has been recruiting teachers with fake certificates all these years?" asked the Vice President of NAGRAT, Angel Cabonu in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM.

He continued saying, "if it is so then the Director General and the Ghana Education Service stand indicted because for a service to agree that it has recruited people who are not certificated and they are so many to the extent that when we are talking about 3,000 teachers owed arrears, Director General is saying after paying a paltry 600 then the rest are people with fake certificates."
