The National Teaching Council (NTC) has dropped samples of how some teachers answered questions pertaining to Ghana Teachers Licensure Exams (GTLE) which has resulted in over 6000 candidates failure.
Previously, InsightNewsgh.com reported that only 1,277 of the 7,728 potential teachers who took the license exam last month passed, according to Dr. Christian Addai-Poku, Registrar of the GTLE.
Therefore, 6,481 teachers failed. The figure represents 16.5 percent of the applicants who retook the exam designed to certify teaching professionals.

Meanwhile, all of the candidates had taken the test at least twice, and some had taken it as many as nine times, according to Dr. Addai-Poku.
He explained that before the exam’s structure and content changed, those who were impacted had one more chance to retake it in the year’s final months.
Those with a first degree, according to him, would be the candidates who would fail on their final attempt and continue to retake the exam.
He stated that “those with a diploma will be required to upgrade themselves to acquire a first degree before they can resit the exam.”
“We are reforming and restructuring the examination and we will start it this year with those who have qualified to write it for the first time,” he added.
