Government Intervention Saves Savannah College of Education from Being Privatized.


Government Intervention Saves Savannah College of Education from Being Privatized.

In a significant stride towards enhancing Ghana's educational landscape, the Ministry of Education is pleased to announce the successful integration of Savannah College of Education into the country's public college system. 

This milestone underscores the government's unwavering commitment to expanding access to quality teacher education and strengthening the nation's educational framework.


After a thorough review and due diligence process, Savannah College of Education has met all requirements necessary for its transition from a private institution to a fully recognized public College of Education. As a result, the institution will now operate under the governance and funding framework of the public tertiary education system, benefiting from enhanced state resources and support.


The absorption of Savannah College of Education is expected to have a threefold impact:


-Expanded Access*: Increase access to teacher education, enabling more students across Ghana to pursue teaching careers.

- *Enhanced Quality*: Improve the quality of training through state-funded infrastructure, professional development for faculty, and curriculum enhancements.

- *Promoting Equity*: Provide resources to strengthen teacher education in under-served regions, promoting equity and inclusivity.


The Ministry of Education commends the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Traditional Authorities, and the Management of Savannah College of Education for their instrumental roles in facilitating this smooth transition. 

This development aligns with Ghana's broader educational reform agenda, focusing on developing a highly skilled and competent workforce of educators to drive national development.


We urge students, faculty, and all stakeholders to embrace this transition and work together to establish Savannah College of Education as a center of excellence in teacher education. This release is subject to the yet-to-be constituted Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) Governing Board.
