If this understanding is reached, I think there will not be any deadline being given by the teachers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>BNI to pick up over 400 \u2018fake teachers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the Director General of GES, Jacob Kor, more than 400 teachers who have been identified to be teaching with fake certificates, will soon be handed over to the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201dGhana Education Service mounted a crusade to weed out the fake certificates and as we speak we have gotten some fake certificates totaling over 400.
