What is NTC?
NTC stands for the National Teaching Council. It is a regulatory body established by the Education Act, 2008 (Act 778) to license and regulate the practice of teaching in Ghana.
The main aim of the NTC is to ensure that all teachers in Ghana meet the minimum professional standards and are qualified to teach in both public and private institutions. This regulatory body conducts a licensure examination for newly qualified teachers in Ghana.
After the examination, all successful candidates are issued with a licensure certificate that permits them to practice as professional teachers in the country. The NTC also provides professional development opportunities for practicing teachers to improve their skills and stay up to date with current teaching practices.
