A group calling itself Coalition of Unemployed Trained Teachers (CUTT) is pleading with the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Education Service, and the government as a whole to as a matter of urgency see to their clearance and recruit members into the classrooms.
In a statement released on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, the group said that being the pioneers of the four-year B.ED Programme which was introduced in 2018 in the Colleges of Education, completing the mandatory National Service as well as successfully passing their licensure exams, it is very unfortunate members are yet to be cleared and recruited to utilize their skills to positively transform students in the country.
“It saddens our hearts, joy and pride that we, pioneers of a programme that seeks to positively transform the human resource (students) of our country through the requisite skills, knowledge and competencies that we have been equipped with, are being left to our fate and there is no news as to when exactly our postings will be done for us”, the group lamented.
Meanwhile, the group also revealed that despite awaiting recruitment, license issued by the National Teaching Council (NTC) is set to expire in 2025.
“All we hear is, it is assured! As we speak, the license issued to us by the National Teaching Council (NTC ) is set to expire in 2025 yet we are still unemployed.
The group is therefore calling on the government through the Finance Ministry to grant members financial clearance and the Ministry of Education as well as the Ghana Education Service to expedite actions by opening the Portal for members to be recruited by the first week of March.
