School heads cautioned against fraudsters

The Education Service Commission (ESC) has warned school heads about a ring of conmen who solicit money from schools, in exchange for jobs. This follows an ESC advertisement for 221 head teachers and 593 deputy head teachers in April. According to the ESC chairperson “Some unscrupulous people have been sending messages to unsuspecting applicants requesting for money to be shortlisted but all services by the ESC are free of charge.” All successful applicants have been shortlisted on the ESC notice board and website and no unsuccessful candidates should think that they can buy their way onto the shortlist.
