The Ministry of Education has denied media reports that the former Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Prof Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa has been sacked.
According to the Education Ministry, the former GES Boss was rather relieved of his second-ment duties at the GES.
The Secretary to the President Nana Asante Bediatuo in a letter dated Monday, October 17, 2022 announced the termination of Prof. Opoku-Amankwa’s appointment at the GES.
However, the Ministry said reports about the purported dismissal of the former Director-General of the GES are inaccurate.
The Spokesperson to the Ministry, Kwasi Kwarteng explained in a press release explained that Professor Opoku-Amankwah was relieved of his responsibilities as a seconded-staff to the GES to enable him to continue his service to Ghana at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
