The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that Friday, November 7, 2025, will be observed as National Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Day for all teaching and non-teaching staff across the country.
According to a statement issued by Daniel Fenyii, Head of Public Relations at GES, the CPD Day will involve all categories of staff—from Kindergarten to Senior High School—who are expected to report to their respective schools for training sessions.
Mr. Fenyii explained that the training will focus on cybersecurity and data protection, aimed at equipping educators and administrators with the knowledge and skills to ensure safe and responsible use of digital tools in the education sector.
He emphasized that while students will not attend school on that day, staff participation is mandatory. The training, he added, will contribute towards license renewal and annual CPD credit requirements for education professionals.
“It’s a holiday for the students, but a skill development day for staff,” Mr. Fenyii stated.
The initiative forms part of GES’s broader efforts to promote continuous professional growth and improved instructional quality among education personnel nationwide.
