Teacher Licencure Examination

In the political landscape, John Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, has pledged to eliminate the licensure exams for teacher trainees.
During a town hall meeting in Wenchi, Bono Region, Mahama questioned the necessity of requiring trained teachers to undergo an additional examination after completing their studies, final exams, and already working as teachers.
He reaffirmed his commitment to abolishing the licensure examination for graduate teachers if elected president in the 2024 general elections.

However, the Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG) has opposed Mahama's proposal to abolish the licensure exams, asserting that these exams play a vital role in the education sector.
