The Ghana Education Service (GES) has confirmed Dr Eric Nkansah as the new Director General of the Service.
The confirmation was communicated to all Regional Directors of education in a statement dated Wednesday, January 4 and copied to the Deputy Director-Generals, all Divisional Directors as well as all Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education General Managers.
“Management wishes to inform you that Dr Eric Nkansah, Ag. Director-General, has officially been confirmed as the Director-General of the Service,” portions of the statement read.
The Acting Director of Human Resource, Angela Frimpomaa Nkansah, who signed the statement directed that “in effect, all correspondence and memoranda should be addressed as such.”
“Congratulations to Dr Eric Nkansah, Director-General, Ghana Education Service,” she added.
Dr Nkansah took over from Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwah as Ag. Director General on Wednesday, October 19, 2022.
However, his appointment generated lots of controversies which resulted in the major teacher unions embarking on strike.
According to them, a long-standing principle of appointing a professional to the post was breached.
The strike was subsequently called off.
