“In effect, all correspondence and memoranda should be addressed as such.
“Congratulations to Dr Eric Nkansah, Director-General, Ghana Education Service.”
Dr Nkansah’s appointment as a replacement to Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwah on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 generated lots of controversies.
The major teacher unions proceeded on strike as a result of the appointment.
According to them, a long-standing principle of appointing a professional to the post had been breached.
The strike was later called off, nonetheless.
