Graduates from about 18 out of the 47 colleges of education in Ghana are caught in uncertainty as they are unable to register for their 2025 National Service.
In a statement issued by the National Service Authority (NSA), it was claimed that these colleges have expired accreditation, which must be renewed by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC)
However, GTEC has refuted these claims, stating that the accreditation for all colleges of education in the country remains valid until 2028.
In the statement issued by GTEC, the commission clarified that trained teachers from these colleges are fully eligible to participate in the 2025 national service.
Despite this, the NSA has not yet responded to GTEC’s position, leaving the affected graduates in limbo.

These trained teachers, who completed their studies last year, have been waiting at home, unable to begin their service due to these unresolved issues.
Some individuals have also alleged that the NSA issued them expired PIN codes for registration, with assurances that these would be renewed. However, the renewal process has not yet been completed, further intensifying their frustration.
