Teacher recruitment in Ghana is set to begin on 10th April 2026, according to the Minister for Education. As prospective applicants prepare, it is important to clearly understand the requirements especially regarding the National Service Scheme (NSS) documentation.
One of the key requirements for applying to teach in Ghana is the NSS Certificate. This official document confirms that an individual has successfully completed their mandatory national service.
What About NSS Attestation?
An NSS Attestation is a temporary document issued to individuals who are still undertaking their national service or whose certificate is not yet ready. While it may serve as proof in some situations, it is not accepted for teacher recruitment.
GES Portal Requirements
On the Ghana Education Service (GES) recruitment portal, applicants are required to upload only original and valid certificates.
It is important to note that:

Applicants still undertaking their service are not qualified for recruitment.
The NSS Certificate becomes available only after successful completion of service.
