The Ghana Education Service (GES) has clarified some modalities required of teachers in basic and high schools across the country.
According to the GES, it is aware of the misunderstanding between the headmasters and their teachers in several schools regarding lesson notes.
In the past, GES required all teachers to submit lesson plans every Monday, and failure to do so could result in disciplinary action.

However, recent modifications to the curriculum and educational systems have created some confusion.
In a statement on January 17, the Service explained that lesson notes may be handwritten or electronically prepared and may be submitted physically or by email.
The statement further directed regional directors to inform district, municipal, and metropolitan directors of education about the development.
Background
Teachers in Ghanaian schools have generally created lesson plans and notes on dedicated Teacher Lesson Note Books provided by the school.
Headteachers documented and reviewed each week's subjects before they were implemented.
In the past, G.E.S. required all teachers to submit lesson plans every Monday, and failure to do so could result in disciplinary action.
This practice had become part of the G.E.S. system over the years, and many teachers viewed it as an essential part of their job.
However, recent modifications to the curriculum and educational systems have created new obstacles.
In a key modification for 2024, the GES directed the district/municipal/metropolitan directors of education to require that teachers accept lesson notes in both handwritten and electronically generated versions, either in print or via email.
