According to the Director-General, Dr. Eric Nkansah, the new GES Self-Posting portal was introduced to address challenges faced by new teachers.
“The ‘self-posting’ recruitment module has the benefit of getting newly trained teachers to be posted to regions where language will not be a barrier. Thus, they can speak the local language (L1) to create a more effective teaching and learning environment. In addition, the teachers get the opportunity to select schools close to their families and enjoy the associated economic support.”
