The Ghana Education Service (GES) recently conducted a promotional exam for educators, and the results have been made public. Participants in the February evaluation had a 69% success rate on the test.
This suggests that a significant 31% of applicants did not satisfy the requirements set forth for progression.
A significant 55,917 people out of the large cohort of 80,810 participants in the evaluation succeeded and rose to the top echelons of educational leadership.
Aspiring candidates competing for prestigious positions such as Deputy Director, Assistant Director I, Assistant Director II, and Principal Superintendent within the Deputy Director grade used the exam as a stepping stone.
The GES stated in a formal statement that candidates will receive a text message notification letting them know whether they passed the test.
“All applicants who took the examinations will receive a notification letting them know whether they passed or failed. (Please be aware that this year, the promotion site won’t be available.) Official promotion letters will be made available when the time comes.
Only 1,277 of the 7,728 potential teachers who took the Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE) in June of this year passed.
It accounted for 16.5 percent of the applicants who took the test designed to certify teachers.
All of the candidates had taken the exam at least twice, and some had taken it as many as nine times, according to a pre-release interview with the GTLE Registrar, Dr. Christian Addai-Poku.
In September 2018, the initial teacher licensure test was taken.
The examination’s goals are to help qualified teachers obtain a professional license and to draw outstanding young graduates from universities and institutions of education who possess the knowledge, abilities, and attitudes needed to work effectively in schools.
