The National Teaching Council (NTC) has confirmed that the upcoming Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE) will proceed as planned, despite recent comments made by the Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu. During a stakeholder engagement on July 15, the Education Minister called for the final teacher licensure examination to be completed by August 30. He urged all relevant parties to collaborate with the NTC Registrar to establish a firm date and ensure the process is finalized within this timeframe.
Following the Minister’s remarks, concerns arose among prospective candidates about potential changes to the examination schedule. However, in a notice posted on its official Facebook page, the NTC sought to reassure candidates, stating, “The Minister’s comments in this video do not in any way affect the upcoming GTLE scheduled for Friday to Sunday.”
The NTC further clarified that the current batch of candidates registered for the 2025 GTLE will take the examination as originally planned, and the new format of the licensure exams will only apply to those nearing the completion of their academic programmes in future cohorts. “All 2025 registered candidates should take note and adhere to this notice,” the statement emphasised. The Council’s reassurance aims to dispel any confusion and maintain confidence in the licensure process, ensuring that registered candidates can adequately prepare for their exams without uncertainty.
