The National Teaching Council has been directed by the Ministry of Education to scrap Teacher Licensure Examinations by August 30, 2025.
Reports suggest that Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu issued the directive during the inauguration of the new governing board of the National Teaching Council on Tuesday, July 15.
The abolishing of the licensure exams formed part of broader reforms aimed at introducing a new framework for assessing teacher qualifications.
The minister noted the new assessment would prioritise academic training and practical fieldwork.
Haruna Iddrisu also announced a final window for candidates who have previously failed the licensure exams to re-sit them before the phase-out takes full effect.
“The last of the Teacher Licensure Exams must be concluded not later than August 30. If there is a final opportunity for those who sat and couldn’t make it, that process should not go beyond August 30."
