The Ghana Education Service (GES) has confirmed that the nationwide teacher promotion examinations will take place as scheduled next week, with strict measures in place to ensure order and credibility throughout the process.
In a statement dated December 26, 2025, and signed by the Acting Deputy Director-General, Prof. Smile Dzisi, the Service assured teachers that the examinations would go ahead without any postponement.
According to GES, candidates for the ranks of Assistant Director II and Principal Superintendent will sit for their papers on Monday, December 29, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
Those seeking promotion to Assistant Director I and Deputy Director will write their examinations on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, during the same time period.
The Service explained that the selection of candidates followed approved eligibility requirements and document verification procedures, which meant that some applications did not qualify.
GES indicated that all shortlisted candidates have been officially notified through SMS, which includes details such as their Staff ID, Index Number, and designated examination centre.
GES stressed that access to the examination centres will be strictly controlled. “Only candidates who have been issued index numbers are permitted to report to examination centres to write the examination,” the statement said.
