New teachers in the country will be licensed before they are allowed to teach in public schools beginning from 2016/2017 academic year, the acting Chief Inspector of the National Inspectorate Board (NIB), Dr Augustine Tawiah has disclosed.
Professional teachers already in the system will also be streamlined while nonprofessional teachers will be given temporal license for three years during which they are expected to acquire the license.
In addition, the license will be renewed each year for the teachers after they have gone through professional development programmes and appraisals to get their licences renewed.
This was made known at a media interaction with journalists on teacher absenteeism and school inspection in Accra Tuesday.
