Akatsi College of Education, School of Pedagogy in Akatsi, Ghana
Akatsi College of Education is a teacher training institution in the Volta Region that offers programs across multiple facilities to prepare educators for work in Ghanaian schools. The college structures its curriculum around practical classroom skills and subject knowledge needed for primary education.
The institution opened in October 1963 with 42 male students and four instructors, operating from buildings previously used by construction company Taylor Woodrow. This founding marked an early step in developing teacher training capacity in the Volta Region.
Students at Akatsi College receive instruction in multiple languages including Ewe, French, and English to support educational diversity in Ghana.
The campus is open to visitors who want to observe daily operations and student activities in teaching and study spaces. It is better to visit during regular teaching sessions rather than examination periods when the campus is less active.
The college's earliest days were shaped by Mrs. De Souza, who prepared the first meal for students arriving from distant regions to join the founding cohort. This personal care reflected how the new institution welcomed its first generation of learners.
