The Ministry of Finance says all 6,300 Ghana Education Service (GES) staff recruited in 2024 without financial clearance have been paid their salaries and arrears.
The Ministry’s clarification follows an appeal by the Coalition of Unpaid Newly Posted Staff of the GES over outstanding salary arrears.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, the Ministry explained that the government inherited the 6,300 staff in 2025 and subsequently took steps to address their salary payment concerns.
According to the Ministry, Cabinet approval was secured and the required financial clearance was issued to facilitate payment in four tranches.
It said all 6,300 staff covered under the arrangement had now been paid.
The Ministry of Finance further clarified that there are currently no outstanding requests for financial clearance from the GES awaiting action by the Ministry.
It advised any staff member who continues to have an unresolved salary or arrears issue to contact the Ghana Education Service for assistance with the relevant payroll or administrative matter.
The Ministry said the clarification was issued to address concerns raised by the affected teachers and staff regarding their outstanding payments.
