The Ghana Education Service (GES) has spoken about a recruitment letter that is going around on social media. According to GES, the letter is fake and should not be trusted by the public.
The letter claims that the government has given financial clearance to employ 50,000 teaching and non-teaching staff. Management of GES says this information is false and misleading.
In a statement signed by Daniel Fenny, Head of Public Relations at GES, the Service made its position clear. The statement was released on Sunday, September 21, 2025, and dismissed the letter as fake.
The GES explained that the letter did not come from its office. They stressed that no such recruitment process has been announced at this time.
Management also reminded the public that all official announcements about employment will be made on their trusted platforms. These platforms include the official website of GES and that of the Ministry of Education.
They assured job seekers that when there is a genuine recruitment, everyone will hear about it. The information will not be spread through fake letters on social media.
The GES has therefore asked the public to ignore the fake notice completely. They also want people to stop sharing the false information.
The statement further warned the public to be careful with fraudulent groups or individuals. Some of these scammers use fake letters to take advantage of desperate job seekers.
GES encouraged the public to report any suspicious activities linked to the fake recruitment exercise. This will help in protecting others from falling into the same trap.
The Service made it clear that it values the trust of the public. That is why they are making sure people are not misled by false messages.
They also used the opportunity to advise job seekers to remain patient. According to them, opportunities will come at the right time through proper procedures.
The management of GES said the public should always cross-check information before believing it. Fake letters and scams are very common, especially on social media.
They reminded people that GES has never used unofficial channels to recruit staff. Any letter or announcement outside the official platforms should be ignored.
The Service ended by urging everyone to stay alert and spread the truth. Their message is simple: the letter is fake, and no recruitment is ongoing.
