Applicants seeking to apply through the Ghana Education Service (GES) recruitment portal have reported widespread challenges, raising concerns about access, system errors, and fairness in the ongoing GES recruitment 2026 process.
Many applicants have taken to social media, particularly Facebook, to express frustration over difficulties encountered while using the portal.
GES Portal Issues: Missing Colleges, Districts and ‘Full Capacity’ Errors
A major concern among applicants is the inability to find colleges of education and districts on the system, preventing them from completing their applications.
Others reported receiving repeated messages indicating that certain categories had reached “maximum capacity”, even at early stages of the process.
“Application for JHS level under college have reached maximum capacity,” one applicant said, questioning whether the issue was technical or if slots had already been filled.
Similar complaints were recorded across multiple regions, with some applicants claiming that all specialisation areas appeared full.
Applicants Struggle to Retrieve GES Application IDs
Another major issue involves the loss of application IDs, which many applicants say they cannot retrieve after starting the process.
“Please add an option to retrieve application ID… we thought we copied but it didn’t,” one user appealed.
Applicants noted that without the application ID, they are unable to continue or complete their submissions.
Registration Errors and Data Inconsistencies Reported
Several applicants also reported challenges during registration, including:
- Entering incorrect identification details (e.g. voter ID instead of Ghana Card)
- Inability to correct submitted information
- Changes in selected districts after submission
These issues have raised concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the application system.
Calls for GES to Fix Portal Challenges
The situation has triggered calls for GES to urgently address the technical issues to ensure a smooth and transparent recruitment process.
Applicants are urging the Service to:
- Fix portal access issues
- Clarify “maximum capacity” messages
- Introduce an option to retrieve application IDs
- Provide clear guidance on the application process
Impact on GES Recruitment 2026
The recruitment exercise is part of efforts by GES to recruit seven thousand (7,000) teachers across the country.
However, the reported challenges risk limiting participation if not addressed promptly, raising concerns about fairness and equal opportunity for applicants.
