The Association of Unemployment Graduates is touting their credentials as best candidates for the ‘vacant’ position as registration officers for the impending biometric registration exercise.
The Electoral Commission has served notice it will fall on National Service Personnel and other students in the tertiary institutions if trained teachers cannot be available for the exercise which begins in March.
Earlier media reports had quoted the Ghana Education Service as saying it would not allow teachers to take part in the registration exercise because it will alter the academic calendar but the GES have been quick to deny that report.
Whether the teachers would be available or not, the Association of Graduate teachers insists they are best suited for the job.
In a statement, the president of the Association, Justice Kojo Antwi said they are a non-partisan interest group and are thus qualified for the job.
He hoped when the opportunity is provided members of the Association it will go a long way to ameliorate the desperation and frustration they have had to endure as unemployed graduates.
The EC has yet to comment on the application and lobbying by the Association, even though ti has publicly stated its preference for qualified teachers.
