MoE reacts to media reportage on failure of GTLE student teachers
The Ministry of Education (MoE) has condemned the reportage of some local media outlets on the results statistics of prospective student teachers who sat for the 2023 edition of the Ghana teacher licensure examination (GTLE).
The Education Ministry’s reaction comes after the media reported the negative side of the outcome of the national examination, saying over 9,000 teachers who partook in the national teacher licensure examination failed.

“It’s a lie. In-service teachers do not sit for Licensure. The attributed failed candidates are prospective teachers or student teachers from various institutions wanting entry into the teaching profession,” Deputy spokesman for MoE, Yaw Opoku Mensah said.
In related news, the National Teaching Council after a meeting with the Minister for Education and Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana has marginally revised the 2023 Ghana teacher licensure test pass mark to 52 per cent.
This comes after the leadership of the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) petitioned the Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum to intervene in the Ghana teacher licensure examination pass mark which was 70 per cent.
“We are pleased to inform all candidates that the National Teaching Council Board has agreed to marginally revise the Ghana teacher licensure examination pass mark to 52%,” the leadership of the Teacher Trainees Association said.
