Female teachers in basic and second cycle institutions in the country have been banned from wearing skimpy dresses as well as trousers henceforth, a directive from the Ghana Education Service(GES) revealed.
According to a letter signed by the Hohoe Municipal Director of Education Wordui Joseph K, teachers must distinguish themselves from the manner in which they dress at home [casually] and for officials duties warning that those who defy the directive in accordance with GES dress code will face sanctions.
“No lady is allowed to put on a pair of trousers to work except during sporting activities. They can however put on suit. Miniskirts and sleeveless dresses must be avoided. Too much make-ups and multi coloured hairdos must also be avoided. Cosmetic treatment (Pedicure) etc should be minimized”, the directive explained
For their male counterparts the GES directed that they should avoiding putting g on jeans trousers and round-neck T-shirts.
“The acceptable T-shirts is a lacoste with breast pocket. Hanging of earphones on the ear as well as lose dressing (Oto Phister) during contact hours is unacceptable”, it warned.
The GES reiterated its resolve to sanction any teacher or officer who may in one way or the other violate the dress code as prescribed.

please let be serious for once, why teachers and what about after school hours .this doesn'tmake sense to me.
banning mini skirts and tight trousers ok, but lailai to normal trousers.
This one of the best information I have ever read here. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I think I share the view of the director and will be happy to see this taking place. However in as much as I do,the peacefm reporter should have his facts well, hohoe director of education does not represent even the entire Volta regional education unit let alone the entire nation. The story pre suppose GES national headquarters has not issued any such directive.
This directive is long overdue. Kudos GES
It is really good.
Then they should be provided them with clothing allowance
This is good, and for those asking for uniforms; the directive is that they should dress decent that is all. you don't need a uniform before you dress good. The mini skirts and the makeups they dont them intentionally to charm men and send them to temptation.
Well than GES i think we are making progress in the nation building, Ghanaian christian s believe in the bible and the Muslims believe in the holy Quran, after you have given it to the authorities to sworn into office and now using it, why Ghanaian s are now complaining. All those ppl condemning the directives, where in the bible shows female should we trousers or miniskirts, the directives are very good and if we continue like this we are going to give the youth bright future, i believe individual we should help the government to achieves his goals. This is not matter of any political party, it is a matter of Ghana and Ghana first so let all come together and build mother Ghana. long live Ghana God bless our home land GHANA
l want to know if GES is going to provide uniforms to these female teachers.
