Before we proceed let’s first look at a brief history about teacher training colleges in Ghana

Presbyterian Training College [PTC]) was the first teacher training institution to be established in the country by the Basel Mission in 1835 at Akropong in the Eastern Region. Several missions followed after, giving the country a total of six teacher training schools a century after the first was established.

Amedzofe, 1894; Wesley College Aburi, 1922, later Kumasi, 1924; OLA Cape Coast, 1928; Hohoe St Francis, 1930; Navrongo, John Bosco, 1937 are the names and locations of the additional five which were created.

Before 1950 there were twelve teacher training schools with just two (Komenda and Tamale) being set up by the Central Government.

The Government Training College (GOVCO) at Peki, which was subsequently named Peki Training College and presently called Peki College of Education was one of the universities set up by the government in 1954 after the implementation of the Accelerated Development Plan for Education (ADPE) in 1951.

Today, there are about 35 public and a lot of private teacher training colleges of education in the country producing qualified teachers for basic and secondary education.
