The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has paid promotion-related salary adjustments and salary arrears to 56,003 teachers of the Ghana Education Service (GES), meeting the deadline agreed with teacher unions. The confirmation was contained in a statement issued and signed by Cephas N. Dosoo, Head of Public Affairs at CAGD, on Friday, 16th October, 2026.

According to the statement, out of the total number, 49,725 teachers received their payments on Wednesday, 15th October, 2026, together with their October 2026 salaries. The payments covered salary adjustments and arrears from January 1, 2026. A further 6,278 teachers had already been paid in September 2026, indicating that the exercise was completed ahead of the October 16, 2026 deadline agreed between government representatives and teacher unions at a meeting held at the Ministry of Education on October 2, 2026.

The department explained that out of the approximately 80,000 teachers reported to have been promoted by the Ghana Education Service, the Service processed and submitted supporting documents for 56,633 cases. Following verification on the IPPD2 payroll system, the CAGD verified and paid 56,003 teachers whose records met all payroll requirements.

However, 630 cases remain pending due to issues identified during the verification process. The CAGD stated it is awaiting the resolution of these issues by the Ghana Education Service for the payments to be effected. The statement added that the remaining 23,367 promoted teachers are yet to be processed, with relevant documents including promotion letters and change-of-grade input forms still to be submitted by GES for verification.
