6,481 Out Of 7,728 Teachers Fail 2023 Teacher Licensure Exams; Check Your Result Here

Out of the 7,728 candidates who sat for the 2023 teacher licensure resit examination, only 1277 passed. 6,481 failed to meet the pass mark.

The number of candidates who failed the exams represents 83.5% of the total candidates who sat for the exams.

The Council said the results will be released on Tuesday, June 20, 2023, excluding those of some candidates which have been withheld pending investigations.

A pre-release interview with the Registrar of GTLE, Dr Christian Addai-Poku, indicated that all the candidates had sat for the exam at least twice, with some sitting for as many as nine times.

Dr Addai-Poku explained that candidates who would fail at their last chance and would want to continue to resit the exam, would be those with first degree, saying “those with 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.

He said unlike the current examination where the candidates were examined in numeracy, literacy and professional skills, this time around, they would have to be examined in the specific area of speciality.

Dr Addai-Poku further explained that a candidate who aspired to teach geography must, in addition to the three areas, be examined in geography.

Candidates who failed but do not accept such results could apply for remarking. According to the Registrar, the fixed GH₵600 Ghana teacher licensure examination (GTLE) script remarking fee will be paid by the interested candidates to the National Teaching Council’s (NTC) account at designated banks.
