About 800 Applicants Reportedly Affected
GES says approximately 800 applicants are affected by the communication problem.
The Service indicates that attempts have been made by the team to contact the affected applicants, but those attempts have been unsuccessful because the contact numbers supplied during the application process were unreachable.
This means affected applicants should not simply wait for another message.
They are being asked to take action by submitting an active contact number to the designated GES team.
What Affected Applicants Should Do
Applicants who applied for Director II or Director I and have not received the expected communication should provide the following information:
- Full name
- Staff ID
- Active phone number
The information should be submitted through either of the following channels provided in the GES update:
Email: gespromotionexams@gmail.com
Phone/WhatsApp contact: 0593385729
Applicants should ensure that the telephone number provided is active and can receive calls or messages.
Why the Active Phone Number Matters
The latest update highlights the importance of maintaining accurate contact information during GES promotion processes.
Where an applicant’s telephone number cannot be reached, important communication concerning the next stage of the process may not get to the applicant.
Teachers who have changed their telephone numbers since submitting their applications should therefore pay particular attention to the update.
An active number should be one that the applicant regularly uses and can readily answer or access.
What Happens After Affected Applicants Submit Their Details?
According to the GES update, the team is on standby to reach out to the affected applicants and establish contact.
Applicants should therefore provide accurate information and remain available on the active number submitted.
They should also avoid sending incomplete information.
For identification purposes, applicants are specifically being asked to provide their:
- Full name
- Staff ID
- Active phone number
Important Advice to Director II and Director I Applicants
Applicants should exercise caution when responding to promotion-related messages.
The contact details provided in this update should be treated as the channels communicated by GES for the affected applicants.
Applicants should also avoid sharing sensitive personal information beyond what is requested through the designated channel.
If an applicant receives a message requesting payment or other unusual information, the applicant should verify the request through an appropriate GES channel before taking action.
