In light of recent developments regarding the validation of Ghana Education Service (GES) staff on study leave with pay in tertiary institutions across the Greater Accra Region, the Regional Education Directorate has issued an important update.
Starting this month, July 2024, all GES staff who are on study leave with pay must visit the Regional Education Office for the validation of their salaries. This initiative aims to ensure that staff members are indeed pursuing the courses for which they were granted study leave and are still actively enrolled in their respective programs.
Mandatory Monthly Visits
From the 15th to the 20th of every month, affected GES staff are required to present themselves at the Regional Education Office. During these visits, their names will be captured in the regional nominal roll list. It is crucial to adhere to this schedule, as failure to comply will result in the forfeiture of salary validation for that month.
Documents Required for Validation
To complete the validation process, the following documents must be presented:
- Study Leave with Pay Approval Letter
- Admission Letter
- Student ID Card
- Ghana Card
- Current Payslip
- Semester Registration Form
A Word from the Regional Director
Mr. Stephen Abamfo, the Acting Regional Director of the Greater Accra Region, emphasizes the importance of compliance with these new regulations. This measure is intended to maintain the integrity of the study leave program and ensure that resources are appropriately allocated to those genuinely furthering their education in alignment with their professional development goals.
The GES is committed to supporting the educational advancement of its staff, but it is equally committed to accountability and transparency in the use of public funds. Staff members on study leave with pay are urged to take note of these new requirements and adhere strictly to the specified timelines and documentations to avoid any disruptions to their salary validations.
For further information or clarification, GES staff members are encouraged to contact the Regional Education Office.
