Learn about the extended closing dates for the GES self-posting exercise for 2022 College of Education graduates. The new deadlines for self-posting and appointment letter submission provide additional time for applicants due to technical issues with the portal.
About CoE Teacher Self-Posting Recruitment
The College of Education (CoE) Teacher Self-Posting Recruitment is a newly introduced initiative by the Ghana Education Service (GES) aimed at streamlining the placement of newly trained teachers from Public Colleges of Education.
This recruitment strategy, announced in 2024, specifically targets the first batch of 2022 degree holders, providing them with the autonomy to select their preferred teaching locations.
Key Features of the Self-Posting Module
- Regional Preference: The self-posting module empowers teachers to choose postings in regions where language and cultural barriers are minimal. This consideration ensures that teachers can integrate more effectively into their assigned communities, enhancing both teaching and learning experiences.
- Proximity and Economic Benefits: Teachers can select schools closer to their homes or regions, reducing travel-related challenges and costs. This proximity not only supports better work-life balance but also comes with associated economic benefits, such as allowances and support tailored to ease the financial burden on teachers.
- Access and Application Process: Qualified applicants are required to visit the GES official portal at https://ges.gov.gh to access their appointment letters. The portal provides a step-by-step guide on how to complete the self-posting process, ensuring that all applicants are well-informed and prepared for their new roles.
- Verification and Documentation: After obtaining their appointment letters, successful candidates must report to their respective regional education directorates. They are required to present their Ghana Card and other essential documents for verification and to receive further instructions.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced an extension for the ongoing self-posting exercise for teachers trained in 2022 at Colleges of Education.
This extension, announced in a press release signed by Cassandra Twum Ampofo, Head of the Public Relations Unit, was issued on July 30, 2024.
The new deadlines set by the GES provide additional time for the submission of appointment letters and the completion of the self-posting process.
Details of the Extension
Extended Deadlines:
| Event | Original Date | Extended Date |
|---|---|---|
| Closing Date for Self-Posting Portal | July 31, 2024 | August 21, 2024 |
| Submission Deadline for Appointment Letters | August 7, 2024 | August 21, 2024 |
Reason for Extension: The GES cited unforeseen technical difficulties with the recruitment portal as the primary reason for the extension. This decision aims to ensure that all qualified applicants have sufficient time to complete their self-posting process without being disadvantaged by the technical issues.
Ongoing Technical Issues: The GES’s technical team is currently addressing the issues affecting the portal. Applicants are advised to be patient and monitor the GES website and official communication channels for updates on the resolution of these problems and further instructions.
Concerns and Feedback from Teachers
In a related development, some teachers have raised concerns about the portal’s limitations, particularly the inability to make changes to previously selected schools.
For instance, David Aboagye Dacosta, a teacher, highlighted the lack of flexibility in the system, which does not allow applicants to change their school preferences after selection.
This issue has been a significant source of frustration for many, as it restricts their ability to adjust to new circumstances or correct mistakes.
Appeal from University Graduates
In the wake of the announcement, there has been an increasing call from university graduates for the GES to open the recruitment portal to them as well.
These graduates, who possess degrees and have completed the required National Service and NTC Licensure exams, have expressed concerns about being excluded from the current recruitment process.
They argue that the exclusion is unfair, as they meet all the necessary qualifications for teaching positions.
Conclusion
The extension of the self-posting deadline by the GES is a necessary step to accommodate the challenges faced by applicants due to technical difficulties with the portal.
The GES has reassured applicants that efforts are underway to resolve these issues promptly.
Additionally, the concerns raised by both teachers and university graduates highlight the need for a more inclusive and flexible recruitment process, ensuring that all qualified candidates have equal opportunities to secure teaching positions.
The GES’s response to these concerns and its ongoing updates will be crucial in maintaining transparency and fairness in the recruitment process.
