| JUST IN | GES Reopens 2025 Teacher Promotion Application Portal – Apply Here!

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially reopened the 2025 Teacher Promotion Portal, giving teachers and education officers another chance to apply for promotion after weeks of uncertainty.

Initially, the GES promotion portal 2025 faced serious technical challenges, including flagged phishing warnings, upload errors, and an eventual shutdown. This left thousands of eligible teachers stranded and anxious about their professional progression. With the reopening, however, GES has outlined clear requirements, timelines, and a new application process for teachers seeking promotion.
