Diploma holders have been inquiring about their chances of being recruited by the Ghana Education Service (GES).
This comes after the GES announced the opening of the recruitment portal for the 2022 batch of graduates from the colleges of education.
It is important to note that the GES currently places a higher emphasis on recruiting individuals with a degree for teaching positions.

The new GES recruitment policy places a premium on recruiting teachers with bachelor’s degrees instead of diploma.
The rationale behind this decision is rooted in the evolving educational landscape of the country, with an increasing emphasis on enhancing the quality of basic education.
The GES aims to ensure that educators recruited are with advanced knowledge and skills that are essential for meeting the changing needs of students in the country.

While this shift may impact diploma holders seeking teaching positions within the GES, opportunities for advancement still exist.
Some institutions offer diploma upgrade programs to help individuals attain bachelor’s degrees in order to be recruited by the GES afterwards.
Furthermore, diploma holders may also be considered for non-teaching roles within the education system.
