Update on 2022 Ghana Teacher Licensure and Promotion Exam from GES
The Ghana Education Service has given a new update on the ongoing Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination which scheduled for 15th and 16th December 2022.
The Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination must be passed by every trained teacher before he or she can be posted into any public school as a teacher. A pass makes the teacher-candidate a professional teacher who also qualifies to teach in any country across the world.
Teachers who sit for the examination are required to write and pass the Literacy, Essential Skills and Numeracy papers administered by the National Teaching Council (NTC).
Dr. Eric Nkansah the Acting Director-General of GES joined the Registrar of the National Teaching Council (NTC) Dr. Charles Addae-Poku and the Principal of the Accra College of Education Dr. Samuel Awinkene Antintono to monitor the Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination at the Accra College of Education Examination Centre yesterday.
A total of six hundred and ninety-two (692) candidates are sitting for the Licensure exam at the Accra College of Education Centre in Literacy, Essential Skills and Numeracy from Thursday 15th to Friday 16th December 2022.
In accordance with the Education Regulatory Bodies Act 2020 (ACT 1023), the National Teaching Council administers the Licensing Examination to enable qualified teachers to acquire a professional license as well as prepare teachers to meet the demands of the National Teachers’ Standards of possessing the minimum knowledge, skills, values and attitudes necessary to deliver effectively in schools.
We wish all candidates success in the exams.
Teachers who are sitting for the examination this December will more likely be posted only if they pass the examination.
In a related development, the GES promotion examination which is slated to be administered on 19th and 20th December 2022 hangs in the balance as some 256 teachers who sat for the 2021 examination and were deemed to have failed the examination sued the GES to seek for clarification on the matter.
They also got the court to place an injunction on the 2022 GES promotion examination until the issues raised in their suit are addressed.
The GES is also yet to furnish teacher who have registered to take the examination with their index numbers and centres for the exam, which leaves teachers in a fix.
