The National Teaching Council (NTC) has rescheduled the start of the 2026 Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE), citing a statutory public holiday.
In a statement issued on Monday, 16 March 2026, the Council said the exams, initially set to begin on Monday, 23 March, will now start on Tuesday, 24 March.
The NTC explained that the adjustment was necessary to accommodate the public holiday on the original date. It has therefore urged candidates and all relevant stakeholders to take note of the change and make the necessary arrangements.
Despite the revised start date, the Council stressed that all other aspects of the examination remain unchanged.
The revised timetabCandidates will sit for General Professional Knowledge on Tuesday, 24 March 2026. This will be followed by Grade-Level Specialism Pedagogy on Wednesday, 25 March, and Multiple Subjects Content or Single Subject Specialism on Thursday, 26 March.
The Council apologised for any inconvenience the changes may cause and appealed to candidates for their understanding and cooperation.
The Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination remains a compulsory requirement for all prospective teachers seeking professional certification, serving as a key benchmark for maintaining standards in the country’s education sector.
Candidates are advised to keep checking official communication channels, including the NTC website, for further updates and guidance ahead of the exams.
