The Coalition of Unemployed Trained Teachers (CUTT), comprising graduates from the 2023 batch of all 46 accredited Public Colleges of Education in Ghana, has issued an urgent call to government authorities for immediate recruitment into the education sector.
In a statement released recently, the group appealed to the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, and the Ghana Education Service (GES) to address the growing frustration and hardship experienced by its members. Despite fulfilling all academic and professional requirements—including the successful completion of the four-year Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) programme, passing the Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE), and completing their mandatory National Service in February 2025—members of CUTT remain unemployed.
“The continued silence from authorities is causing severe financial, emotional, and psychological hardship to our members nationwide,” the statement read. “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.”
CUTT is demanding two immediate actions: financial clearance from the Ministry of Finance to enable recruitment, and the urgent opening of the GES recruitment portal by the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service.
With thousands of professionally trained and licensed teachers still idle, the coalition warned that any further delays would worsen the national unemployment crisis and waste valuable human capital within the education sector.
The group also assured the public of its continued efforts to engage stakeholders and the media until concrete steps are taken to address their concerns.
