Ghana’s Education Minister, Haruna Iddrisu, has officially announced that the number of public Colleges of Education in the country has risen to 48, following the inclusion of three newly established institutions.
The announcement was made during the recent inauguration of seven newly constituted governing councils in Sunyani.
“This number includes three newly added institutions under the previous administration: the Savanna College of Education, the Ghana Muslim Mission College in Beposo, and Christ the Teacher College in Nsoko,” the Minister stated.
“We have directed the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to finalise the absorption processes for these colleges into the public system.”
The absorption process, according to the Ministry, is a critical step in ensuring that all 48 colleges receive full government support, including funding, infrastructure development, and governance oversight.
The Minister emphasised that the expansion reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening teacher education nationwide.
“Our goal is to strengthen the tertiary education sector and ensure our colleges are well-equipped to deliver high-quality teacher education for generations to come,” he said.
