The Sierra Leone Teaching Service Commission has announced the postponement of the Teacher Licensing Examination, originally scheduled to take place from May 6th to May 11th.

In a public notice released by the commission, it was revealed that technical difficulties with the examination system necessitated the delay.

The notice, issued to the general public, stated that the postponement was due to technical hitches that the system encountered. The commission assured that their teams of developers are diligently working to resolve these issues. Consequently, all previously booked or scheduled examination dates and centers are now considered invalid.

Applicants who had made arrangements for the examination are urged to await further instructions once the technical problems are addressed. The Teaching Service Commission emphasized that ensuring a seamless and fair examination process is paramount, and they are committed to resolving the technical challenges promptly.

The Teacher Licensing Examination is a crucial assessment for educators in Sierra Leone, serving as a benchmark for their qualifications and competence in the teaching profession. Therefore, any delay or disruption in its administration is of significant concern to both aspiring teachers and education stakeholders.
