Management of the National Teaching Council (NTC) has announced the procedures for applying for Remarking of NTC Licensure Examination.
According to the Registrar of the National Teaching Council Dr. Christian Addai Poku, any person who wants a remarking of script (s) must first of all contact the Management of the Council through their Examination Board/Unit.
On the cause of the mass failure, the Registrar informed the leadership that majority of those who sat for the exams were resit students and that, preparation towards the exams was inadequate. He further stated that there wasn’t any leakage of any of the papers, and invigilation was tight since the victims were not allowed to sit for the papers in their various institutions. He then emphatically stated that the results were the true reflection of the performance of the students.

The leadership further requested for the statistics of the exams to clear the mindset of its constituents of a deliberate attempt by NTC to shortlist the number of trained teachers who will be eligible for recruitment by GES.
In response to the request, the leadership were told that the statistics over the years have been twisted by the media which sends negative signal about teachers. He elaborated further that the media only publish the failures and relegate the good news of the results to bring disrepute to our fraternity, therefore there would be no statistics of the exams this year.
He further stated that whoever feels they have been cheated can challenge their results by applying for remarking. He is ready to do open remarking where the answer booklet of the applicant will be juxtaposed to the marking scheme in the applicant’s presence, he added.

- Involved candidate must write an official letter to the Registrar to request for remarking

It was appealed to the Registrar for the victims to be given the opportunity to redeem themselves before the portal of GES will be opened for recruitment.
