According to the Director-General of the GES, Prof. Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, "This recruitment is strictly for applicants who completed colleges of education in 2019."

He said after the recruitment of the current batch of teachers, the next group would be those who did Education in the various universities and had also completed the Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE) and the mandatory national service.
