Bagabaga College of Education, located in Tamale, ranked 10th in the 2025 Top 20 Colleges of Education in Ghana. Established in 1944, it has grown into a leading anchor institution for the three northern regions, known for its scale, inclusivity, and significant contributions to teacher supply across the country.This year’s ranking, which assessed academic performance, infrastructure, programme diversity, enrolment, and accreditation, placed Bagabaga among the top 10 institutions nationally. Its strong showing reflects its long-standing commitment to teacher education reform and community service.

Academic Performance and Ranking

In the Top 20 Colleges of Education 2025 Overview, Bagabaga earned its 10th place due to its large enrolment numbers and consistent second-class upper division performance.Although not as dominant in first-class numbers as Akrokerri College of Education (ranked 1st), Bagabaga’s balance of scale and quality makes it a critical pillar for teacher availability in Ghana. Its contribution is particularly important for rural and underserved districts, where staffing gaps remain a challenge.

Infrastructure and Facilities

Bagabaga’s facilities include modern lecture halls, ICT laboratories, and well-equipped science laboratories, aligning with Ghana’s national STEM priorities.Its strategic location in Tamale ensures accessibility for students across the north, making it the regional equivalent of Accra College of Education in the south. This geographic reach was one of the factors considered in its 10th-place ranking.

Historical and Cultural Relevance

Founded in 1944, Bagabaga has consistently produced teachers who have gone on to serve across Ghana. Its alumni play influential roles in basic education, tertiary education, and educational leadership.Much like Agogo Presbyterian College of Education, Bagabaga combines historical legacy with modern innovation, a key feature of colleges in the top half of the 2025 league table.

National Contribution and Policy Role

Bagabaga’s ranking also reflects its policy relevance. The Ministry of Education, through programmes like the Ghana Accountability for Learning Outcomes Project (GALOP), recognizes the college as one of the institutions with the potential to scale inclusive teaching practices nationally.This positions Bagabaga as not just a northern hub but also a national-level player in teacher education reform.
