Will final year teacher trainees write their licensure in school—and when? -Check Here

Coleman Publications has received a surge of inquiries from final year teacher trainees across the country, all asking one key question: “Will we be writing the Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE) in school before vacating?”

In response to this growing concern, we are publishing this article to provide clear insight based on directives from the Ministry of Education and updates from relevant authorities.

Minister of Education’s Directive

The Minister of Education has issued a formal directive stating that the final part of the post-graduation GTLE must be conducted by August 30, 2025.

This decisive move is intended to ensure that teacher trainees from various institutions take their licensure exams before leaving campus.

To that end, the Ministry has tasked the National Teaching Council (NTC) with synchronising the licensure examination schedules with the institutional academic calendars.

Update on July GTLE Results (2025 GTLE 1)

Candidates who sat for the 2025 GTLE 1 in July can expect their results to be released by the second week of August 2025.

This timeline is deliberately structured to pave the way for the final resit examinations slated for later in August.

Timely release of results is especially important for candidates who will need to re-register and prepare for their last chance to meet the licensure requirement before the August 30 deadline.

Final Year Trainees-Timeline for Licensure Exams

In response to the question that has flooded our inboxes—“Will final year trainees write the exam in school?”—the answer is Yes.

According to information gathered, final year students will take the GTLE before they vacate on September 20, 2025.

This marks a shift towards streamlining the licensure process while they are still on campus, reducing post-graduation delays and other unforeseen circumstances.

Registration Modalities

The necessary registration modalities for the final GTLE will be released shortly. These will include:

• Eligibility guidelines for candidates
• Registration dates and procedures
• Payment information and deadlines

What Trainees Should Do Now

Here are some recommended actions:

• Begin preparing for the GTLE using approved study materials.
• Keep in close contact with your college administration for registration updates.
• Watch for the release of July GTLE1 results to determine if a resit is required.
• Ensure you have the necessary documentation ready for registration.

This exam isn’t just a requirement—it’s a gateway into your professional journey.
