A group known as Coalition of Unemployed Trained Teachers (CUTT) are demanding immediate employment by government, saying the skills they have acquired in school are wasting away.
Comprising mainly 2023 graduates of public Colleges of Education, the group say they have been left without jobs despite meeting the Ghana Education Service’s (GES’s) engagement requirements.
The situation, they stated, has not only left them frustrated but is taking a severe toll on them financially, emotionally and physiologically.
“The continued silence from authorities is causing severe financial, emotional, and psychological hardship to our members nationwide.”
They expressed their readiness to serve and appealed to government to, as a matter of urgency, grant financial clearance and open the recruitment portal for their employment into the classroom so that they can put their skills, which they say are wasting away, into use.
“We are ready and willing to serve, yet the state continues to waste the skills and resources invested in our professional training. We can no longer remain silent while our future remains uncertain and neglected.”
