The Deputy Minister of Education, Dr John Ntim Fordjour has said that the Ministry will sustain the licensure examination for teachers. This, according to him, will ensure the churning out of professional teachers for the education sector. Mr Ntim Fordjour said this during the launch of this year's Ghana Teacher Prize in Accra. He added that the call to ban the teacher licensure examination, as made by the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not help the sector.
"There have been many reforms. We have never put a framework that recognizes our teachers as professionals, there came the introduction of the licensure exams and now teachers have the framework to be recognized as professionals upon whose shoulders every other professional will stand," he stated.
