The National Teaching Council (NTC) has issued a warning to teachers regarding a potential scam involving fraudulent phone calls. Recently, an audio clip has been circulating in which an individual, falsely claiming to be a staff member of NTC, attempts to invite teachers to a virtual meeting. The NTC has firmly denied the authenticity of these calls and the information being spread.
Official Statement from NTC
According to the NTC, no staff member has been instructed to call teachers to join any virtual meeting. The Council emphasizes that it will never use phone calls to invite teachers to virtual meetings. Instead, the standard protocol involves sending a meeting link directly to the individual teacher via SMS or sharing it on NTC’s official social media platforms.
The NTC urges teachers to remain vigilant against fraudsters and their schemes. It is important for teachers to verify any information they receive through the official NTC communication channels, which include the NTC website and authorized social media accounts.

To ensure the authenticity of any communication from the NTC, teachers are advised to:
- Visit the official NTC website: ntc.gov.gh
- Follow NTC’s official social media accounts for updates:
- Facebook: National Teaching Council

The NTC is actively investigating the source of this fraudulent activity and is committed to taking appropriate legal action against those responsible. The Council urges the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to its operations.
By maintaining awareness and verifying information through official channels, teachers can protect themselves from scams and ensure they receive accurate and reliable communications from the NTC.
