The March 2020 edition of the Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE) has been postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.

A statement released by the Council on Monday, March 16 said the candidates are to keep their vouchers and all required documents until the scheduled date.

“The new date will be communicated as soon as appropriate (hopefully after four weeks)”, the statement indicated.

This comes after President Nana Akufo-Addo in a televised address issued some emergency measures to be carried out nationwide.

A tweet from the Ghana Health Service said, “This afternoon (17 March 2020); we have received a report from NMIMR that indicated one (1) more confirmed case as positive for COVID-19 in Greater Accra Region.”

The patient is a 35-year-old male, and a Ghanaian citizen who returned to Accra from France within the past 14 days.
