GES must stop the 19th century administrative process now and fully activate GESIMS

The Ghana Education Service cannot continue to speak about digital transformation while simultaneously forcing teachers and administrators to endure outdated, paper-based administrative processes that belong to a bygone era. The launch of the Ghana Education Service Information Management System (GESIMS), spearheaded by Dr Eric Nkansah, the immediate past Director General, and ably launched by Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, the immediate past Minister for Education, in 2024, was supposed to mark a decisive shift toward a modern, efficient, and transparent education administration. Yet, despite investing public resources into developing the platform, many critical administrative functions remain unnecessarily manual, creating frustration, delays, and needless costs for teachers, school administrators, and office administrators across the country.
