The training seeks to:
- Enhance knowledge of CPD reforms among education stakeholders.
- Improve accuracy in uploading CPD points via the Teacher Portal Ghana (TPG).
- Strengthen accountability and compliance within the teaching profession.

Target Participants
Regional Directors have been requested to inform Metro, Municipal, and District Directors of Education to release the following personnel to participate in the virtual sessions:

Strengthening Professional Standards
Continuous Professional Development remains a core requirement for teachers in Ghana. Accurate recording and uploading of CPD points are critical for professional licensing, renewal, and career progression. By organizing this virtual training, GES aims to ensure that all relevant personnel fully understand the revised processes and comply with national standards.
The Service is counting on the usual cooperation of all Regional, Metro, Municipal, and District Directors to ensure full participation and successful implementation.
Teachers and school leaders are therefore encouraged to take note of their respective dates and times and prepare adequately for the sessions. Active engagement in this training will contribute significantly to improving professional practice and maintaining high standards within Ghana’s education system.
