NTC releases important notice to all Teachers
The Management of the National Teaching Council (NTC) has released important notice to all teachers concerning the awarding and renewal of licences to teachers in Ghana.
A letter shared by the NTC on November 20, 2024, indicates that the Council plans to roll out the renewal of all licence starting from the Greater Accra Region on Monday, November 25, 2024. The complete schedule for the nationwide implementation shall be published in due course.
According to NTC, as part of the processes, teachers are implored to note that,
1. The design of the licence card has changed, making room for additional information on the teacher, such as subject specialism and category.
2. All teachers will be issued new cards irrespective of whether their cards have expired or not.
3. The possession of the new card does not mean the teacher is in good standing.
4. Any teacher whose licence has expired presently will have to satisfy all conditions for renewal of the teacher's registration, including the required CPD points.
5. To verify the registration status of a teacher, a QR code has been introduced on the licence card. Thus, when scanned, it will indicate whether the teacher's registration has expired or he/she is in good standing.
6. All teachers must visit the NTC portal (www.tpg.ntc.gov.gh) to update their profile. They may use this link: https://ntc.gov.gh/licence-update/ as a guide.
The Council advised that all teachers are advised to take their Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programs seriously to enable them to gain the points for renewal of their registration.

1. The licence card shall be valid for five (5) years.
2. Registration shall be valid for one (1) year and shall expire on the 31st of December, each year.
