The National Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF) has released the academic calendar for all public Colleges of Education in Ghana for the 2025/2026 academic year.
This calendar is very important because it gives students, tutors, and parents a clear guide on how the academic year will run. It also helps teacher trainees to prepare well for their studies, teaching practice, examinations, and vacations.
