GES 2025 Promotion: What Every Teacher Should Know to Prepare.


GES 2025 Promotion Updates—A Step by Step Guide for Teachers Across All Ranks

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially outlined the roadmap for its 2025 promotion exercise, bringing long-anticipated clarity to thousands of teachers eager for career progression and improved remuneration. 

These updates address several lingering concerns from previous years while introducing new measures aimed at fairness, efficiency, and recognition of long-serving staff.

Below is a comprehensive summary of the latest directives:

1. Automatic Promotion for Long-Serving Deputy Directors

In a major policy decision, GES has confirmed that Deputy Directors who have continuously served for a period ranging from 10 to 15 years will receive automatic promotion to the Director II rank. This directive acknowledges the accumulated experience and dedicated service of these officers who have remained committed to their roles for over a decade. According to GES, these automatic promotions are scheduled to be reflected in the June or July 2025 payroll, ensuring beneficiaries experience the financial adjustment promptly.

2. Interviews for Deputy Directors with 4 Years or More

Deputy Directors who have served for at least 4yrs but have not yet reached the 10-year automatic threshold will undergo a structured interview process to determine their suitability for elevation to Director II. This approach balances tenure with competence, allowing GES to assess candidates’ readiness for higher administrative and leadership responsibilities based on performance, professional growth, and mastery of current educational policies.

3. Application Portal Opening Soon for Other Ranks

For teachers in ranks below Deputy Director, GES is finalizing arrangements for the activation of the promotion application portal. The ranks involved include:

Principal Superintendent (PS)

•Assistant Director II (ADII)

•Assistant Director I (ADI)

•Deputy Director (DD)

One of the important matters GES is working on is the issue of notional promotion dates from 2020 and 2021. In previous years, these dates created confusion about who was eligible for promotion and when. GES is now correcting these problems to ensure fairness for all affected teachers. Once these corrections are fully made, the promotion portal will be opened for qualified teachers to submit their applications online.

4. Aptitude Test Planned for September 2025

GES has scheduled the 2025 promotion aptitude test for September, providing candidates with adequate time for thorough preparation. All applicants, including both first-time candidates and those retaking the examination, are encouraged to begin their studies early, as success in the aptitude test remains a critical requirement for career progression.

5. Small Changes Expected in Deputy Director Test

In line with the need to align assessment content with job responsibilities, GES has announced that candidates vying for Deputy Director positions should anticipate slight adjustments in the structure of their aptitude test. These modifications are intended to better reflect the strategic, supervisory, and policy-driven duties attached to the rank. Further specifics regarding the revised format will be officially communicated once finalized.

6. Teachers Advised to Stay Updated

All teaching staff are strongly encouraged to monitor the GES promotion portal and other official communication channels regularly. Staying informed will ensure that no teacher misses key announcements, deadlines, or application instructions as the process unfolds.

This comprehensive 2025 promotion framework represents a deliberate effort by GES to clear previous backlogs, standardize promotion procedures, and reward long-serving and deserving staff fairly. As further details emerge, teachers are urged to maintain readiness and take advantage of the opportunity for career advancement.
