The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has directed the Ghana Education Service (GES) to investigate 18 teachers who promoted themselves in Amansie Central without recourse to the laws governing the GES.
A report from the Amansie Central Education Directorate indicated that the teachers upgraded themselves without the requisite documents and increased their salaries, resulting in a financial loss of GH¢188,000 to the state.
The Amansie Central District Education Director, Vincent Ben Ameyaw, said an amount of GH¢34,000 has been recovered.
“We have been able to collect GH¢34,731.53 and we are left with GH¢152,966.54 and we are on course collecting [the balance].
“We did not place [promote those teachers], they did self-upgrading without passing through the office. So it is a backdoor affair.”
