National Teaching Council Announces Dates For 2023 Teacher Licensure Exams
The National Teaching Council Registrar, Dr. Christian Addai Poku, has revealed the schedule for this year’s Teacher Licensure Exams. In an interview on the GTV Breakfast show, Dr. Addai Poku announced that the exams will take place in September 2023, catering to both fresh candidates and resit candidates.
Dr. Addai Poku emphasized the importance of separating fresh graduates from resitters, stating, “This year, we didn’t allow any new crop and any new graduate to join the resitters. All the new graduates are going to write theirs maybe by September. Normally when the new ones join with fresh ideas, they tend to do very well.”
While the licensure exams for resitters have already been conducted this year, the results revealed a significant number of candidates who did not pass. However, fresh candidates have yet to sit for the exams in 2023.
