  GES Denies Allegations of Secret Recruitment and Sale of Teaching Appointments. The Ghana Education Service (GES) has issued a firm response to widespread allegations suggesting that there is a “secret” recruitment exercise within the Service, where individuals are allegedly made to pay large sums of money to secure teaching appointments.
