The Ministry of Education has issued a caution to teachers who pay unapproved fees to directors of education and supervisors to facilitate their promotions.

Speaking to the media, the ministry's PRO, Kwesi Kwarteng, stated that an investigation will be launched to examine the conduct of education officers who have been demanding fees from teachers to facilitate their promotions.

Reports have emerged that some teachers have been asked to pay GH¢200 ahead of the upcoming teacher promotion exercise.

According to reports, teachers are expected to hand over the money in a white envelope to their respective head teachers, who will then pass it on to the GES promotion supervisors.

The promotion supervision is set to commence next week, and it is anticipated that over a hundred teachers will be required to make the payment to be eligible for promotion.

Mr. Kwarteng emphasized that no teacher should be subjected to paying such unauthorized fees.
