Frequently asked questions
Do I need a photo on a teacher CV in Ghana?
No. Leave it out unless the advert asks. A photo takes space and can lead to bias.
What if I have only National Service experience?
Treat it like a job. Give the school, the subjects you taught, class sizes and any results or clubs you led.
