Cassandra Twum Ampofo has lost her role as GES Head of Public Relations
The Head of Public Relations at the Ghana Education Service (GES) Headquarters, Cassandra Twum Ampofo, has been transferred to the Eastern Regional Education Directorate.
The transfer, announced via a Facebook post by Ms Ampofo on Monday, May 19, 2025, according to her is on the back of a current routine issuance of transfer letters at the GES Headquarters, often delivered on Mondays.
In her post, Ms Ampofo described the moment she received her transfer letter from the Director-General’s Secretary, who visited her office, a rare occurrence that hinted at the impending change. Confirming her suspicions, she was informed of her reassignment to the Eastern Region.
“Mondays at the Ghana Education Service (GES) Headquarters have become synonymous with uncertainty, as transfer letters often drop on this day, bringing surprise and change to staff members.
“Yesterday was no exception. When the Director-General’s Secretary visited my office – a first in itself – I couldn’t help but ask if it was my turn. Her smile confirmed my suspicions, and upon requesting my letter, I discovered I’d been transferred to the Eastern Regional Education Directorate,” she wrote.
Ms Ampofo expressed pride in her tenure as Head of Public Relations, highlighting her significant contributions to shaping the GES’s public image.
“The fruits of my labour are evident, and I’m confident that the foundation I’ve laid will continue to yield positive results,” she stated.
She also conveyed excitement for her new role and the opportunities to serve in the Eastern Region, while expressing gratitude to colleagues and stakeholders for their support during her time at the headquarters.
Her transfer comes amid recent personnel changes in the public sector, including transfers and dismissals of workers in various state agencies, following the assumption of office by the National Democratic Congress-John Mahama government.
