The first phase of the 2022 edition of the Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination is scheduled to take place in March according to the National Teaching Council (NTC).

However, the NTC is yet to open the GTLE registration portal for interested persons who likes to obtain the NTC provisional license to register.

The delay, however has putted Na lot of interested persons into a state of dilemma.

Officials of the Council says, the delay in the opening of the registration portal is due to some changes and other measures the council are putting up to eradicate all kind of challenges.

“The registration portal will be opened very soon to allow all interested and qualified persons to register for the upcoming GTLE”.

“The date for the first phase of the 2022 Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination might change due to the delay”, he added.

Responding to the new reforms that was mentioned during the February 2022 stakeholders engagement as to whether the caused of the delay, the officials noted that Candidates were able to pass through teacher education programmers successfully and yet are unable to pass basic skills in numeracy, literacy and essential professional skills remains unanswered.

“This worrying situation has featured persistently in every GTLE Awards Committee meeting”.

Some of the reasons adduced for this worrying occurrence are;

• Poor entry qualification
• Poor alignment between teacher education courses and the GTLE
• Inadequate preparation of students in line with the national teachers’ standards and the national teacher education curriculum framework

These have necessitated the need for some reforms in the GTLE.

Hence the  NTC intends to introduce proficiency test in the form of subject and level-based test. This test will help obviate some alignment issues between the GTLE and the teacher education curricula.
