A group calling itself Coalition of University Teacher Trainees of Ghana has expressed its deepest displeasure on happenings in the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service which to them seems to be a deliberate attempt to frustrate graduate teachers (direct university entrants).
According
to the group,they can no longer bare what they described as an ugly
discrimination in silence,demanding an immediate action to curb the
strange behaviors of the Ghana Education Service.
The group is demanding the following:
1. Immediate postings after national service of the university trained teacher.
2. Removal of all teachers who have qualifications that have nothing to do with the classroom.
3. Complete abolition of recruitment exam which is a fat insult on our institutions
4. A halt to the use of National service personnel as a solution to huge staff deficit in second cycle
institutions.
5.Persons without teacher training should be allowed to apply for recruitment, while several graduate teachers are still unemployed.

According
to the group,there are more than 10,000 unemployed graduate teachers
who went to university of Education, Winneba and University of Cape

efforts to make sure these people are employed meanwhile; available
statistics indicates that there are about 35,000 vacancies nationwide.
