The Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has proposed the establishment of an Education Emergency Response Fund.
The fund, it said, should support large-scale teacher recruitment, equitable deployment and professional development.
The group insisted that structural reform is needed to prevent cyclical staffing crises in Ghana’s basic education sector.
In a six-point action plan, CDM called for the immediate absorption of all qualified unemployed trained teachers.
It demanded prompt issuance of appointment letters and fair postings, particularly to underserved communities.
The movement also urged the publication of a detailed national teacher deployment framework.
According to CDM, the framework should outline district-by-district staffing gaps, recruitment targets, timelines and monitoring mechanisms to ensure accountability.
“Ghana’s future cannot be mortgaged to bureaucratic inertia and policy paralysis,” the conveners stated.
“The government must act decisively, transparently and urgently — not tomorrow, but now.”
CDM reaffirmed its solidarity with parents, teachers and students, stressing that education remains the foundation of democracy, equality and national progress.
