The National Teaching Council which is mandated by the Education Regulatory Bodies Act, 2020 to license teachers has asked all in-service non – professional teachers to get their professional qualification by 2024 or forfeit their appointment.
The Acting Director of Licensing and Registration of Teachers at the NTC Mr. Francis Akwasi Addai said “By 2024 if you are not a trained teacher, you will not be allowed to practice in the classroom.”
The National Teaching Council has classified in-service teachers who are teaching in both the public and private sectors without teacher training certificates as nonprofessional teachers.
