Teachers and graduates awaiting the Ghana Education Service (GES) 2024 promotion aptitude test have received some good news amidst the ongoing issues with the GES portal. Despite the recruitment and promotion portal being offline, there have been significant updates regarding the release of aptitude test index numbers and exam centres.
Key Updates
- Index Numbers via SMS: Candidates have started receiving their index numbers through SMS. It’s essential to check your SMS inbox carefully before deleting any old messages to ensure you do not miss this important information.
- Secure Your Index Number and Centre: Once you receive your index number and exam centre details, make sure to store and secure this information safely for future reference. This will be crucial on the day of your aptitude test.
- Patience for Pending SMS: If you have not yet received your index number and exam centre details, remain calm. The messages are being sent out gradually and should arrive in the course of the week. Be patient and keep checking your SMS inbox.
- For Keypad Phone Users: Those using basic phones (commonly known as “Yam phones”) should consider deleting some old messages to ensure there is space for new SMS. If the phone’s inbox is full, you may not receive new messages.
- For Smartphone Users: If your smartphone has settings that block spam messages, it might be beneficial to temporarily switch your SIM card to a basic phone to ensure you receive the SMS. This step could help if you experience delays in receiving your index number and centre details.
Good News Despite Portal Issues
While the GES recruitment and promotion portal remains offline, causing frustration among many graduates and educators, the release of index numbers and exam centres brings a ray of hope. This progress indicates that the GES is making headway in its preparations for the upcoming aptitude tests, a step in the promotion process.
What to Do Next
- Check Your SMS Inbox: Regularly check your SMS inbox for messages from GES regarding your index number and exam centre.
- Delete Old Messages: For those using basic phones, ensure you have enough space in your SMS inbox by deleting old messages.
- Switch Phones if Necessary: If your smartphone’s spam filter is causing delays, consider temporarily using a basic phone to receive the SMS.
- Stay Calm and Informed: Remain patient and keep an eye on official GES communication channels for further updates.
Conclusion
The release of GES 2024 aptitude test index numbers and exam centres is a positive development amidst the ongoing portal issues. Graduates and educators are encouraged to stay informed and take necessary steps to ensure they receive their index numbers and exam centre details. This progress suggests that the GES is moving forward with the recruitment and promotion process, bringing hope to many eagerly awaiting these opportunities.
