The National Service Authority (NSA) has announced the release of PIN codes for 9,082 trained teachers from 24 Colleges of Education across Ghana, initiating the registration process for the 2025/2026 National Service Year.
Notably, a total of 16,159 trained teachers were submitted by 36 Colleges of Education for upload into the NSA System for National Service.
However, 7,077 trained teachers have yet to be uploaded due to the absence of required cover letters from their respective institutions, preventing their details from being processed by the Authority.
Additionally, among the 9,082 successfully uploaded trained teachers, 5,336 students come from institutions with expired accreditation, while only 3,746 students are from institutions with active accreditation as recognized by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC).
This means that out of the 36 Colleges of Education, only 14 institutions currently hold active accreditation with GTEC, whereas 22 institutions have expired accreditation.

In line with NSA’s commitment to compliance and transparency, registrations from prospective personnel from institutions with expired accreditation will be put on hold until their accreditation status with GTEC is regularized before they are posted for National Service.
The Authority urges affected Colleges of Education to promptly engage GTEC to renew their accreditation status to facilitate PIN code activation and registration for their students.
