Mr. Chairman, President of the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education, Ghana (PRINCOF), Prof. Samuel Awinkene Atintono, former national presidents and coordinators, ex-officers, staff and students, members of the press corps, distinguished ladies and gentlemen:

“I am truly humbled by the dignified presence of such a galaxy of distinguished personalities filling this great auditorium. The support I have received from my colleagues, student leaders from across the country, and my schoolmates from Tamale College of Education is overwhelming. I especially thank my supportive brother, Kparibo Ernest, and representatives from ATTRICONS, VOLTA, WEC, ASHBA, and EGA.”

Reflecting on his journey, Mr. Soale recalled, “I remember like it was yesterday when I first gained admission into Tamale College of Education in 2021, never imagining that I would one day become the national president of this esteemed association. It is an incredible honor.”

Mr. Soale expressed gratitude to his predecessor, H.E Nana Kwame Jephthah, and his team for their outstanding leadership. “Under their guidance, our association has achieved remarkable milestones in advocacy and made significant contributions to the teacher education sector in Ghana.”

Future Plans and Commitments

As the new president, Mr. Soale emphasized his commitment to building on the foundation laid by his predecessors. “Together with my team, we shall design a road map to ensure timely and effective implementation of projects and initiatives.

In his concluding remarks, Mr. Soale called for unity and solidarity among TTAG members. “Our strength lies in unity. Although our affiliations and other factors may differ, the forces that unite us are greater than those that divide us.”

The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana looks forward to a new era under the leadership of President Soale Razak, focused on transparency, efficiency, and collaboration to address the needs and challenges of all teacher trainees.
