Over 400 teachers grabbed with fake certificates

More than 400 teachers have been identified by the Ministry of Education to have presented fake certificates for employment.

According to the Director General of the Ghana Education Service, Jacob Korr, the number is likely to increase as more than 200 were identified in one district.

He said their names will be presented to the BNI for the law to take its course.

The move is part of efforts by the Ghana Education Service to sanitise the Educational system to ensure that only those with genuine certificates are maintained.

As part of the exercise, the Regional Directors of Education have been tasked to forward verification reports on all teachers in both basic and second-cycle institutions under their jurisdiction.
