Number of teachers in tertiary education in Ghana 2012-2020
As of 2020, there were over 21 thousand teachers at the tertiary education level in Ghana, significantly increasing from around 17.9 thousand in the preceding year. This continued the generally increasing trend observed since 2012. In 2018, Ghana self-weaned from the International Monetary Fund's (IMF's) net hiring freeze conditionality, which allowed the government to extensively hire new staff for the the public sector.
