The Management of the Ghana Education Service has released the official guidelines to be followed by teachers to be able to be granted an inter-regional transfer/reposting.
This is the most difficult transfer to be granted. A teacher seeking to get an inter-regional transfer must give the Service a very tangible reason to be granted this form of transfer.
Inter-regional transfer refers to the transfer where a teacher is moved from the region he/she currently is, to another region.
Such transfers are generally granted/approved by the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service.
In this guide, GESHub.org will outline all the guidelines the Management of GES requires teachers to follow before an inter-regional transfer/reposting will be granted to them.
Guidelines to secure GES inter-regional transfer/reposting
- Step 1
All Heads of schools must declare their vacancies to their District Directors. All District Directors should forward vacancies received from the schools to their Regional Directors.
Regional Directors should forward vacancies received from the Districts to the Director of HR, GES Headquarters.
- Step 2
An Applicant seeks for Assurance from their Region of choice through the District/Municipal/Metro Directors of Education.
- Step 3
The Regional Director issues an assurance letter or otherwise to the applicant.
- Step 4
After securing the assurance letter, the applicant then applies for reposting from his/her current District.
The District Director forwards the application letter and inter-regional reposting form (as well as all necessary documents, E.g. Current Payslip, Assurance Letter, Certificates, Bank Clearance, etc.) with a covering letter to the Regional
Director. The Regional Director forwards all approved documents and a covering letter to the Director General for final approval.
- Step 5
After the Director-General’s approval is given, the Regional Director issues a release letter to the applicant to complete the reposting process.
Note: A teacher seeking Inter Regional reposting can only be released by the Regional Director after the Director-General has given final approval to the applicant.
