7 female Colleges of Education in Ghana Discover the history of Ghana's 7 all-female Colleges of Education, from missionary roots to teacher training traditions. Advertisement Ghana has seven female Colleges of Education with histories rooted in the expansion of women’s education and teacher training.

Some, including Agogo, Aburi, and St. Teresa’s, briefly admitted male students before returning to female-only education.

The colleges have played an important role in training generations of women teachers across Ghana.

While most Colleges of Education in Ghana admit both male and female students, a few institutions have maintained a different tradition.

These colleges were established at different points in Ghana’s educational history, with many of them created by missionary organisations to expand education for girls and train women to become teachers.

Some have remained female-only since their establishment, while others briefly admitted male students before returning to their original structure.
