GES adds Reset feature to teacher promotion portal to fix mistakes

The management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has added a Reset feature to the teacher promotion portal, allowing applicants to clear any previous applications they have made and reapply afresh.

The introduction of the new rest feature follows teachers’ complaints that they are unable to make changes to their application in the event of an error, which could lead to disqualification.

In a social media post sighted by Pretertiary.com, the Ghana Education Service said, “If there was any mistake in your submission, or you want to change anything in your submission, you now have the chance to fix it.”

How to use the GES promotion portal reset feature

1. Visit the GES teacher promotion portal

2. If your Application code was invalid, register again to obtain a new code. If not, maintain your existing code.

3. Log in with your Staff ID and Application Code.

4. After logging in, click on the Reset button.

5. A new application form will display. Fill in all details and submit.

6. A new submission automatically erases the earlier one submitted.

“The ultimate goal is to ensure that by 2nd October, every qualified teacher will have applied successfully. The Team shall continue to take and work with your feedback as you navigate your way on the portal,” GES said.

Relatedly, the management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has extended the deadline for the 2025 Ghana Education Service teaching staff to submit applications for the 2025 teacher promotion.

In a statement sighted by Pretertiary.com, the Ghana Education Service said the 2025 teacher promotion application deadline, which ended on September 5, 2025, has been extended to October 2, 2025.

The extension of the Ghana Education Service (GES) teacher promotion application deadline from September 5, 2025, to October 2, 2025, follows technical difficulties with the teacher promotion portal.
