The Ghana Education Service (GES) manages public education throughout Ghana and oversees teacher recruitment, promotions, postings, and posting of newly trained professionals.
Occasionally GES opens an online recruitment portal to allow qualified applicants to apply for teaching and non‑teaching positions.
Prospective applicants should rely only on official GES communication because the Service has repeatedly warned against fake recruitment notices circulating online.
GES uses this portal to issue posting details and appointment letters to qualified teachers and education graduates.
When the portal is active for recruitment, applicants can also submit applications for teaching positions and track their status.
The portal includes modules for buying eVoucher cards, applying for postings, checking appointment letters, and tracking application status for recruitment or promotion.
When will GES Recruitment Open in 2026?
As of early 2026 GES has confirmed that no official recruitment exercise for diploma and graduate teachers has started yet.
The Public Relations Unit at GES Headquarters clarified that letters circulating online claiming that recruitment has started are fake and misleading.
The Service further said that official recruitment announcements will only be made on verified GES platforms and through official press releases.
Prospective applicants who wish to join GES should therefore monitor the official portal and GES communication channels for the authorised recruitment commencement date.
When recruitment opens, valid details including start and closing dates, eligibility criteria, required documents, and application steps will be posted officially.
GES Recruitment Eligibility Requirements
When GES recruitment is officially opened, applicants will generally be expected to meet the following requirements:
- Possess a valid degree or diploma in Education from an accredited institution.
- Have a Teacher Licence Number (NTC) from the National Teaching Council (NTC) if required.
- Have completed the National Service Scheme (NSS) if applicable for degree holders.
- Provide a valid Ghana Card and contact information for correspondence.
- Be willing to accept posting to any region or district where the Service requires staffing.
Applicants should confirm specific requirements once GES announces the recruitment.

What Happens After Submission
After submitting your application:

- Shortlisted applicants will receive SMS or email notifications directing them to check the portal for further instructions.
- Appointment letters and posting details (for those selected) will be accessible for printing through the posting or appointment letter tab on the portal.

Documents to Prepare Before Applying
Prospective applicants should prepare the following documents:
- Degree or Diploma Certificate (original and scan).
- National Service Certificate if applicable.
- NTC Teacher Licence Number (if required).
- Valid Ghana Card.
- Passport‑sized photograph (in an acceptable digital format).
Fraud Prevention and Official Notices
GES has repeatedly issued official statements warning the public to disregard fake recruitment letters and advertisements that falsely claim the recruitment portal is open.
These false documents often circulate on social media and mimic official formats to mislead applicants.
Applicants should only trust information from verified GES channels, such as the official website or press releases from Ghana Education Service.
Using unofficial portals or paying money outside the official eVoucher system can lead to loss of personal information or financial loss.
