Mr Gyetuah Speaking in an interview with Educationweb.com.gh, noted the provisional license which will last for 3 years will enable all unprofessional teachers to upgrade themselves and sit for the teacher licensure exams.
“The NTC has agreed to give a 3-year provisional license to all private school and in-service teachers who are not professionals for them to within the three year grace period upgrade themselves and sit for the teacher licensure examination”, he told EducationWeb’s Okyere Darko George.
He furthered that the Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) is compiling all the necessary data through the GNACOPS volunteer Service Scheme to the National Teaching Council (NTC) for a certificate to be given to the license students and unprofessional teachers.
According to him, every private school or an in-service teacher seeking to be professional will pay an amount of GH₵ 200 for the National Teaching Council’s (NTC) provisional license which expires in 2024.
Background
