Government announces new date to abolish teacher licensure exams.
The Ministry of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has instructed the National Teaching Council (NTC) to abolish the Teacher Licensure Examinations by August 30, 2025.
He urged all stakeholders to collaborate with the registrar to set a firm date and ensure the process is completed within the stipulated timeframe.
The directive was issued by Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu during the inauguration of the new governing board of the NTC on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
According to the Minister, the decision forms part of broader reforms aimed at introducing a new framework for assessing teacher qualifications—one that places greater emphasis on academic training and practical fieldwork rather than standardized exams.
He also announced a final window for candidates who have previously failed the licensure exams to re-sit them before the phase-out takes full effect.

“The Teacher Licensure Exams must be concluded not later than August 30. If there is a final opportunity for those who sat and couldn’t make it, that process should not go beyond the recommended date of August 30,” he said.
