Unemployed teachers reject 6100 recruitment plan.

Unemployed Trained Teachers Reject Government's 6,100 Teacher Recruitment Plan, Demand Transparency and Fairness in Employment Process.

The Coalition of Unemployed Trained Teachers has expressed profound disappointment and frustration with the government's plan to recruit 6,100 teachers, stating that it falls woefully short of addressing the country's pressing teacher shortage. 

Representing over 17,000 unemployed College of Education graduates, the coalition says the announcement has precipitated uncertainty and anxiety among qualified teachers, exacerbating an already dire employment landscape.

In a strongly-worded statement, the group emphasized that all qualified teachers deserve opportunities to serve in Ghana's educational sector, not just a privileged few. 

They are demanding transparency, fairness, and accountability in the recruitment process, questioning whether it will be based on merit, cronyism, or other opaque factors.

The coalition is calling on Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu to provide a clear, comprehensive, and time-bound roadmap for employment, prioritizing the hiring of all deserving graduates. 

They have threatened to organize mass protests and demonstrations in the next two weeks if their demands aren't met, rejecting claims that they're "striking teachers" as a misrepresentation of their legitimate grievances.

The group describes the current situation as unprecedented in Ghana's teacher training history, highlighting that a staggering number of qualified graduates are left in limbo, their careers and livelihoods hanging in the balance. 

They are urging the Minister to demonstrate a commitment to fairness, transparency, and the public interest by prioritizing the employment of all qualified teachers, thereby addressing the systemic challenges facing Ghana's education sector.

The coalition's concerns are underscored by the fact that the government's recruitment plan has raised more questions than answers, leaving many to wonder whether the process will be fair, equitable, and free from undue influence. 

As the coalition prepares to take its fight to the streets, the government is under pressure to respond to the legitimate concerns of its unemployed teachers and provide a clear vision for the future of Ghana's education sector.
