The Unemployed Education Graduates Alliance (UEGA) has issued a two-week ultimatum to the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Ghana Education Service (GES) to employ them or face their wrath.
The Alliance said five years after graduation, GES and the MoE have “deliberately” refused to pay significant attention to their plights as unemployed graduate teachers in the country and they believe “this unkind gesture” is not helping in promoting quality education.
According to the Alliance, several petitions to the MoE and GES offices have yielded no results as the GES has said it is not recruiting.
“When exactly will MoE and GES recruit graduate teachers? Must we wait for another year to pass by before recruitment will commence? What baffles our minds is that, whenever we call the authorities of MoE to ask when graduate teachers recruitment will be done, they refer us to GES. We ask again that, when will these referrals bring a lasting remedy to our plights?” the Alliance quizzed in a statement.
UEGA said they have no plans of demonstrating but have served notice the “unexpected” will happen should their demand fall on deaf ears.

Honestly, these graduate students are insincere to themselves because to ask a government which is only six months in office to employ all graduates who have been unemployed for five years is senseless. Threats like that has the similitude of NDC MPs or are they influenced or remote controlled by NDC? Well watch your words.
I thought you have a lot of power,yet you have waited five years without employment. Teachers indeed, who could not even organise english and arimetic classes in your neighbourhood for the teeming boys and girls who have problem passing these subjects. Yet you have the guts to threaten governments. The answer to the massive failures as the SHS level and others are not far fetched. No ingenuity, nor creativity among our 'so' called teachers. All such 'educators' look for is government employment, to go and layabout, collecting 'extra' classes fees,even though they wasted 'main' classes period. BETTER GET SERIOUS AND BE CREATIVE. Good and 'real' teachers never lack employment
Why were dey voiceless during d eight yrs rule of d NDC ? This kind of hypocrisy must stop. We must gv d new gov time to prepare n settle.
