1. Introduction

The National Teaching Council is mandated by Education Regulatory Bodies Act 2020 (ACT 1023) to regulate the teaching profession in Ghana. As part of the Council’s regulatory functions, it is mandated to conduct examination for licensing of people who desire to teach.

The purpose of the Licensing Examination is to enable qualified teachers acquire a professional licence and 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.

Five years after the introduction of GTLE, the Council is embarking on reform to introduce Subject-Based Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (SBGTLE) this year. This is a response to the need to test both the content and professional knowledge of the prospective teachers.

The ongoing registration for the 2023 Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE) 2 is for fresh candidates only. Due to the GTLE reforms, which is to be implemented this year, the Council has given three chances to candidates who have referrals in the traditional GTLE (Essential Professional Skills, Literacy and Numeracy) to redeem themselves. The first two chances have been utilised. Re-sit candidates will have their last chance to write GTLE in November 2023. After this chance, there will be no examination for the traditional subjects from 2024. Any degree holder who has referral in the traditional GTLE and wishes to write GTLE again must start afresh with the SBGTLE dispensation from 2024. However, any diplomate who has referrals in the traditional GTLE and wishes to write SBGTLE must first obtain a degree.

Date for Examination:
