The Ghana Education Service (GES) has highlighted fragmented leadership among newly posted teachers protesting salary delays, complicating resolution efforts.
A GES representative voiced the concern during a June 24 appearance on Morning Starr with host Naa Dedei Tettey, noting shifting protest groups hinder consistent dialogue.
“We realize new sets of aggrieved teachers emerge frequently,” the official stated, citing inconsistent representation across petitions. “Those submitting the first petition differed from subsequent ones, including yesterday’s—new faces and leadership each time. This makes communication difficult.”
While affirming commitment to resolving teacher grievances, the GES appealed for coordinated representation to facilitate efficient negotiations. The service emphasized it is in the “tail end” of addressing initial concerns but requires stable stakeholder engagement to finalize solutions.
The situation underscores broader administrative challenges in managing decentralized labor disputes within Ghana’s public education sector.
