The National Teaching Council (NTC) has announced important dates for prospective candidates preparing to write the 2026 Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE II).
The examination is an important step for candidates seeking to obtain their teaching licence and pursue a professional teaching career in Ghana. Candidates who intend to participate in the 2026 GTLE II are therefore encouraged to take the registration and examination dates seriously.
2026 GTLE II Registration Period
According to the announced schedule, registration for the 2026 GTLE II will begin on 1st August 2026 and end on 21st August 2026.
This means that prospective candidates have a limited period to complete their registration. Candidates are advised not to wait until the final day before registering, as last-minute registration could come with challenges such as network problems, payment issues or difficulty submitting the required information.
Candidates should carefully provide the correct information during registration and ensure that all necessary requirements are completed before the deadline.
Registration Period: 1st August – 21st August 2026
Candidates should also take note that late registration may not be accommodated after the official deadline.
2026 GTLE II Examination Timetable
The 2026 GTLE II examination will be conducted over three days. Candidates are expected to write a different paper on each day.
Monday, 14th September 2026 – General Professional Knowledge
The first paper will be the General Professional Knowledge (GPK) paper.
GPK is an important part of the GTLE and requires candidates to prepare well. Candidates should revise areas covered under General Professional Knowledge and practise relevant past questions.
Date: Monday, 14th September 2026
Tuesday, 15th September 2026 – Pedagogy
The second paper will be Pedagogy.
Candidates should use the available time before the examination to revise important pedagogical concepts and practise questions that can help them become familiar with the examination format.
