The Ghana Education Service (GES) is leading the way in ensuring timely and efficient payment of salaries to their staff. They have taken their efforts to another level by introducing a new system that eliminates the need for biometric registration for newly recruited teachers to validate and process their salaries.

Instead of biometric registration, the Ghana card will be used for all necessary processes. This means that new teachers will no longer have to go through the cumbersome process of biometric registration before receiving their salaries. This development will not only reduce the workload of the GES but also make the process faster and more effective.

It should be noted that this innovation comes after rumors circulated that there would be no more biometric registration for newly recruited teachers. The GES not only verified the rumors but also went a step further to ensure a smooth transition to the new system.

This development will benefit not only newly recruited teachers but also other staff members under the GES. The use of Ghana Cards for processing documents is an important step towards modernizing their operations, and it is expected to yield positive results in the long run.

The decision to use Ghana cards instead of biometric registration for newly recruited teachers is a step in the right direction. It will reduce the workload of the GES and make the payment process faster and more efficient. It is hoped that the innovation will include the adoption of a One-Time Password (OTP) system, as used by other institutions in the country, to further promote effectiveness and improvement in service delivery.
