Teachers holding Pass Class Degree will not be considered for recruitments in all government schools, Parrots UG has learned
Credible reports from the Ministry of Education indicate that the ministry has banned teachers with pass degrees from service effective January 2023.
According to reports, the move is in line with the 2004 amendments that were issued by Public Service Commission requiring all applicants for the teaching profession to possess honours degrees from recognised Universities and other tertiary institutions.
Ketty Lamaro, the Permanent Secretary MoES said in a circular dated 27th June, that they have studied the amended guidelines and noted the public’s views about the pass degree graduate teachers.
The circular addressed to all academic registrars of Universities and other tertiary institutions however indicates that the ban does not affect graduates with pass degrees that were already appointed in the District.
A pass degree is the lowest classification awarded to students who usually get between 2.0 to 2.79 CGPA after the end of their program.
