The GTLE was introduced by the government in 2019, backed by the Education Act of 2008, Act 778, with the first-ever teacher licensure examination taking place in September 2018.
It is an examination organized to license and certify all professional teachers in Ghana as a key policy aimed at improving the professional standing and status of teachers in the country.
Organized and supervised by the National Teaching Council (NTC), the licensure examination is also aimed at building the expertise of teachers in the field of teaching and preparing them for appointments outside the country.
It covers new teachers entering the service, as well as teachers already in active service who also require a license to practice the profession successfully.

The examination is conducted in three areas —

- Literacy,
- Numeracy

The TVET Teachers however do not write the GTLE and hence are not licensed by the NTC.
