The government has relieved Dr. Eric Nkansah of his duties as the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), effective immediately.
Dr. Nkansah, who was appointed in January 2023, brought a diverse background in education and banking to the role.
Prior to his appointment, he worked as a teacher, banker, and lecturer at various institutions, including Christian Education Complex Junior High School, Barclays Bank (now Absa), and Garden City University College, Kumasi.
The government has appointed Prof. Ernest Kofi Davis, the Provost of the College of Education at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), as the new Director-General of GES.
Prof. Davis is expected to bring his wealth of academic and administrative experience to drive innovation and improvement in Ghana’s education system.
This leadership change is part of the government’s efforts to realign leadership within the GES and address key challenges in the education sector.
