Basic schools reopened Tuesday, September 8, 2026, for the 2026\/2027 academic year, and for many, that meant a shortage of licensed teachers to fill classrooms. Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu told Parliament in June 2026 that Ghana needs between 50,000 and 90,000 more teachers, against government clearance to recruit only 7,000 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide covers what schools must check before hiring you, which roles; teaching and non-teaching &#8211; are open, and how to apply fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6acf7077a3254\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6acf7077a3254\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/how-and-where-to-find-teaching-jobs-in-ghana\/#Why_This_Hiring_Season_Works_in_Your_Favour\" >Why This Hiring Season Works in Your Favour<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/how-and-where-to-find-teaching-jobs-in-ghana\/#What_You_Need_to_Qualify\" >What You Need to Qualify<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/how-and-where-to-find-teaching-jobs-in-ghana\/#Its_Not_Just_Teaching_Jobs\" >It&#8217;s Not Just Teaching Jobs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jobberman.com.gh\/discover\/how-and-where-to-find-teaching-jobs-in-ghana\/#How_to_Find_These_Roles_Fast\" >How to Find These Roles Fast<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_Hiring_Season_Works_in_Your_Favour\"><\/span><strong>Why This Hiring Season Works in Your Favour<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Private schools are competing with GES for the same licensed teachers &#8211; real leverage for you if you&#8217;re qualified.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A government-backed placement of 50,000+ trained teachers to private schools may be coming, but details aren&#8217;t final &#8211; keep applying directly rather than waiting on it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First term runs September 8 to December 17, 2026, with a mid-term break on November 5-6.
