President of Teacher Trainees' Association of Ghana (TTAG), Soale Razak, has praised government's decision to review the teacher licensure examination in its current form.
Speaking at the association's 29th Annual Delegates Congress at Hohoe on Friday, Razak said there were inconsistencies between the Bachelor of Education (BEd) programs and how examinations were prepared for the trainees.
He commended ongoing discussions among key stakeholders in addressing existing challenges. "There is a disconnect between the B.Ed.
curriculum and the examination structure, coupled with the lack of adequate preparation time and resources. "We commend the National Teaching Council, and by extension the Ministry and the Committee, for engaging the Teacher Training Association of Ghana in a meaningful dialogue to reform the exam in a way that maintains quality without being punitive," he averred.
