With excitement building nationwide, the 2025 Ghana Teacher Prize is set to be one of the most memorable in the programme’s history. From Modest Beginnings to a Global-Quality PrizeThe awards trace their origins to 1995, when the Best Teacher Awards were launched to coincide with UNESCO’s World Teachers’ Day (October 5). In 2018, the rebranding to the Ghana Teacher Prize (GTP) aligned the programme with the Global Teacher Prize, offering local winners a platform to compete internationally. Under the National Teaching Council (NTC), prize packages expanded dramatically: the most outstanding teacher now receives a three-bedroom house, while runners-up receive vehicles and other rewards.
