The Educate Africa Institute (EAI) has lauded the Minister of Education, , for his decisive directive to abolish the Teacher Licensure Examinations by August 30, 2025, describing the move as a bold and progressive step towards improving teacher recruitment and strengthening Ghana's education system.
In a statement signed by its Executive Director, William Boadi, the Institute commended the Ministry for responding to longstanding calls from education stakeholders to review the teacher qualification framework.
The Teacher Licensure Examinations were introduced under the previous administration as a prerequisite for graduates seeking to enter the teaching profession.
However, EAI has, for years, opposed the policy, arguing that it was unnecessary and burdensome for teacher trainees who had already undergone four years of rigorous academic and professional training in universities and colleges of education.
