The license of Ghanaian teachers will have to be renewed every three (3) years after the teachers meet certain requirements, in the form of scoring a level of CPD points (Continuous Professional Development points) set by the regulator, National Teaching Council (NTC).
The minimum level of points required for the license renewal is, however, spread among various activities to be carried out by the teacher, of which most of those activities are routine/everyday duties of the teacher, while other activities demand some level of research by the teacher. Interestingly, only a subsection of one requirement has a direct need for a workshop for points. Below are all the nine (9) fields in the portfolio for teachers to complete for 100% CPD points for their license renewal.
