Hi there! If you’re dreaming of becoming a teacher in Ghana, attending a College of Education is one of the best ways to start your journey. I’ve been through this process myself, so I know how exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—it can feel. That’s why I’m here to walk you through the admission process step-by-step.

Some colleges may require you to attend an entrance exam or an interview. I remember how nervous I was during my interview, but preparing in advance helped a lot. Practice common questions like:
