Dr. Christian Addai-Poku, Registrar of the National Teaching Council, reports that 44,000 of the 120 000 teachers who took the 2022 Ghana Teacher Licensure Examinations failed.
Given the weak performance of the teachers who were tasked with educating youngsters, he claimed that the exam results were concerning.
These comments were made by Dr. Addai-Poku at the Institute of Teacher Education and Development's town hall meeting for the 2022–23 Cohort of the Leading Girls' Learning Program (INTED).
In order to improve the learning environment for females in second cycle schools, INTED has enrolled the Leading Girls' Learning Programme with funding from USAID.
In order to enhance teaching and learning outcomes in classrooms, the program also increases the competencies and skills of teachers in second cycle institutions.
According to Dr. Addai-Poku, teachers' skills must be consistently improved if they are to achieve in their line of work.
He emphasized that instructors can improve their abilities and advance in their teaching careers through ongoing professional development.
According to Dr. Addai-Poku, there is a need to motivate female professors to advance up the teaching ladder into second-cycle institutions because their numbers there are underwhelming.
Only 26% (26 Percent) of the teachers at the second cycle level were female, according to his statistics.
"More female instructors at the second cycle level will give the girls in the schools role models they can look up to," he continued.
A very soon an entrance exam will be created for anyone who desired to enroll in the various Colleges of Education, according to Mr. Divine Ayidzoe, Chief Director, Ministry of Education.
He claimed that as a result of this action, colleges of education would attract talented students who would advance the teaching profession in the nation.
According to Mr. Kwabena Amporful, INTED's Executive Director, INTED has worked with development partners over the past ten years to enhance the caliber of leadership and teaching practices in senior high schools.
He continued by saying that they had offered professional development courses to more than 3,500 teachers in more than 70 schools around the nation.
