History

The Transforming Teacher Education and Learning programme started in November 2014 to support the 46 public colleges of education to improve teacher education. The late Vice President of Ghana, Paa Kwesi Amissah - Arthur launched the programme in December 2015. [1] In December, 2018 the programme was extended for a further two years (December 2020) to support the transition period of the four-year Bachelors of Education (B.Ed.) degree, which replaced the Diploma in Basic Education (DBE) in October 2018.

Transforming Teaching, Education & Learning was established on 7 July 2020 after successful completion of the initial teacher education project so that T-TEL could continue supporting Ghana's education system. [4]

The Transforming Teacher Education and Learning programme was designed to address poor learning outcomes by improving tutoring in colleges of education so that newly qualified teachers move away from rote learning and become better prepared to use interactive methods and their subject knowledge in the classroom.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Education in Ghana</span>

Education in Ghana uses a dualistic approach encompassing both formal and informal learning systems. The current formal educational system was introduced during European colonisation. However, learning systems existed prior to that. The University of Moliyili is one of the earliest learning centers in Ghana established in the 1700s. During colonisation, European settlers initially introduced a formal education system addressed to the elites, while education of the average citizen was mainly informal, and based on apprenticeship. Economic activities in pre-colonial Ghana were based on farm produce shared within households and members of each household specialized in providing necessities such as cooking utilities, shelter, clothing, and furniture, and trade with other households was therefore practiced on a very small scale. As such there was no need for employment outside the household that would have otherwise called for disciplines, values, and skills through a formal education system. After colonization, Ghana's economy became a hybrid of subsistence and formal economy.
