More than 60,000 teachers across Ghana have completed the three-day Teacher Promotion Aptitude Test, with the Ministry of Education describing the nationwide exercise as successful and incident-free.

Deputy Minister of Education, Dr Clement Abas Apaak, gave the assessment after monitoring the examination at Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC-Legon) in Accra on behalf of Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu.

According to Dr Apaak, reports received from various parts of the country indicated that the exercise proceeded smoothly, with no major incidents recorded.

He reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring that qualified teachers and other education-sector workers have opportunities to advance their careers through promotion.

Dr Apaak said the administration of President John Dramani Mahama, working through the Ministry of Education, remained committed to ensuring that eligible staff progressed to higher professional ranks without unnecessary obstacles.

The Teacher Promotion Aptitude Test is part of the Ministry's efforts to facilitate career progression and professional development within Ghana's education sector.

The successful completion of the examination marks a key stage in the promotion process, which is intended to provide deserving teachers with opportunities to move up the professional ladder in recognition of their experience, dedication and service to education.
