Newly Qualified Teachers have been waiting for long for them to be recruited into the education ministry, and the most important thing which has prevented Ghana Education Service from recruiting them is the financial clearance which has not been given out yet by the finance Minister.
Today Newly Qualified Teachers will be very happy to hear this from the Finance Minister, that is Government has employed almost 300,000 onto the public payroll since 2017 in key essential services sectors. In 2021 alone, financial clearance totalling 72,825 has been granted.

According to the Ministry These Percent constitutes the population below 18 years. Interestingly, out of the total population of 30.8 million:
only 2,364,348 persons (less than 10 percent of the total population) are registered as tax payers as at August 2021;
only 1,643,839 persons (about 5 percent of the total population) are captured by SSNIT as active contributors to Tier 1 pensions and 2,107,322 (less than 10 percent of the total population) as active contributors to Tier 2 as at June 2021;
only 45,109 entities are registered as corporate taxpayers while 54,364 persons are registered as self-employed taxpayers at the Ghana Revenue Authority;
and only 136,198 entities are registered businesses at the Registrar-General’s Department as at August 2021 of which 80 percent are classified as selfemployed.
Mr. Speaker, compared to our peers within the middle-income bracket, these statistics are a poor reflection on us and we need to change the narrative. We must urgently work together to simplify our processes to ensure that the millions of our fellow Ghanaians both in the informal and formal sectors contribute their quota towards our transformation agenda.

Mr. Speaker, the need for solutions has become even more heightened when we observe that every year, over 100,000 young people graduate from our tertiary institutions onto the job market. We have also witnessed the depressingly long queues for jobs in the public sector.
Mr. Speaker, over the past 15 years, successive Governments have endeavoured to implement various employment schemes to partially address the unemployment situation in the country.
In 2006, Former President J. A. Kufuor initiated the Youth Employment scheme which provided meaningful employment avenues to many of our youth. Since then, we have implemented a number of such schemes with the current ones being:
Nation Builders Corps (NABCo – 100,000 youth covered);
Youth Employment Agency (YEA – 80,538 beneficiaries);
National Afforestation Programme (44,682 youth engaged); and
National Alternative Employment and Livelihood Programme (NAELP).
In addition, Government has employed almost 300,000 onto the public payroll since 2017 in key essential services sectors. In 2021 alone, financial clearance totalling 72,825 has been granted. Government will selectively continue to employ the needed manpower within the public sector to boost productivity.
Mr. Speaker, while these efforts have helped to close the manpower gaps, we continue to have a huge number of our young people who are without jobs.
