A CV for teachers in Ghana

Updated 2 November 2026

A school wants to know what you teach, at what level, and how well you manage a class. A teaching CV that shows your subjects, your training and your classroom experience in plain words does that.

What to put first

Your name and contact details.
A short profile: your subject areas, the level you teach, and your years of experience.
Your teaching qualification and any licence or registration details, if you hold them.

Show your classroom experience

For each school, give the name, your dates, the subjects and classes you taught, and what you did beyond teaching. Short lines work well: planning lessons, setting and marking assessments, keeping records, supporting pupils who need extra help, and any club or sports you ran. Include numbers only when they are true, such as class size.

Training and development

Your degree or diploma in education, with the institution and year.
Workshops and in-service training you have completed.
Skills such as using computers in teaching, if you really have them.

Referees matter

Schools often ask for referees. A head teacher or a lecturer who knows your work is a good choice. Ask their permission first, and give their position and phone number.
