Background Ghana's educational landscape has undergone significant transformations since its independence, with teacher training playing a pivotal role in shaping the quality of education.
Initially, teacher training in Ghana was closely linked to secondary schools, with training colleges often sharing the same compound.
However, as Ghana embarked on a path of rapid expansion in education in the 1960s, the demand for qualified teachers surged.
This necessitated a significant increase in the number of trained teachers, prompting the government to implement various interventions to boost enrollment in teacher training programs, birthing the teacher trainee allowance.
