PRINCOF Announces ‘New’ Resumption Date for Public Colleges of Education
The National Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education, Ghana (PRINCOF), has announced a change in the reopening date for all public Colleges of Education across the country.

Why the Date Was Changed
PRINCOF explained that the decision was taken to allow colleges enough time to prepare properly before students and staff return to campus. The extra weeks will help schools complete important internal arrangements needed for effective teaching and learning.

What Staff and College Authorities Should Do
PRINCOF has asked all principals to officially inform their staff and students about the new resumption date. Colleges are also expected to adjust their academic calendars and administrative plans accordingly.
PRINCOF Appeals for Understanding
PRINCOF acknowledged that the change may cause some inconvenience, but appealed to all stakeholders for patience and cooperation. The leadership emphasized its commitment to maintaining high standards in teacher education in Ghana.
In Summary
