Newly Trained Teachers to be Posted after Undergoing Training on the New Curriculum – GES Boss

Newly trained teachers who successfully passed their Teacher Licensure Examination and completed their National Service shall be taken through the New Standard Based Curriculum before being posted to the public Basic Schools.

The purpose of the training is to prepare them for the changes in the basic school curriculum before sending them to the classrooms to teach.

The Director General of the Ghana Education Service,Prof. Kwesi Opoku Amankwa said this in an interview on Neat Fm,an Accra based radio station on Tuesday,August 20,2019.

” After their National Service which ends around September based on when they actually began,we shall take them through some training on the New Standard Based Curriculum for them to understand the curriculum well”

”Moreover,for them to complete their National Service and also be taken through the New Standard Based Curriculum, i believe we should be around December,then we can now post them into the classrooms to teach” He said.

Prof. Amankwa explained that unlike the old system where newly trained teachers were being posted directly after College,the new system expects them to pass a licensure exam and also complete their NSS before postings.
