Academic Performance

Accra College of Education has sustained a strong academic reputation by producing balanced graduation results across first-class and second-class upper divisions. While its first-class percentage does not surpass leaders like Akrokerri or Amedzope, the college is distinguished by the scale of its graduates in professional pedagogy.

The institution’s blend of performance and inclusivity ensures that its graduates are not only academically sound but also capable of thriving in Ghana’s complex educational landscape.

  • Libraries and Study Spaces: Modernised resources ensure that both staff and students can access current learning materials.

  • Urban Partnerships: The strategic location provides easy links with government ministries, NGOs, and international partners, which enhances internship and collaborative opportunities.

Programmes and Diversity

The college runs a wide range of teacher training programmes, with a particular emphasis on:

  • Early Childhood Education

  • Junior High School Education

  • Inclusive and Special Needs Education (emerging focus)

This breadth enables Accra College to serve as a feeder of highly skilled professionals across all levels of Ghana’s basic education system.

Population and Cohort Strength

With one of the largest enrolments among southern-based colleges, Accra College continues to attract students from across the country. The diversity in its student body strengthens peer learning and fosters national integration within its cohorts.

Accreditation and Recognition

Accra College holds full accreditation from GTEC and meets the standards set by the National Teaching Council (NTC). It has also received recognition for its digital training initiatives, aligning with the Ministry of Education’s broader digital transformation agenda.
