Abstract
The concept of tertiary education is very dear to the heart of all nations. Tertiary education harnesses the opportunity for nations to build their workforce. It is the means by which the economy practically produce middle and senior level manpower for productivity in the country to ensure survival of the society. The teaching profession depends largely on the production of competent teachers. No curriculum of education system can be implemented without availability of competent teachers. This is why the teacher training institutions must be upgraded in status to produce high quality teachers. The case of Ghana is no exception. Ghana has made strides in her teacher education among which the former teacher training colleges got elevated to tertiary institutions and called Colleges of Education. This is to ensure elevation in quality of teacher training. It has been observed that though the Colleges were elevated from non-tertiary post-secondary institution to tertiary status making them akin to the universities by Act 847 in 2012, a lot of changes are yet to happen in their day-to-day practices coupled with the fact that the sector has to be resourced with literature for adoption of new ideas for effective transformation. This paper therefore, aims at readers who are in practice of educational leadership in the country’s Colleges of Education to take cue from the various topical issues tackled in the content to serve as a guide for the Colleges to be run better in their tertiary status. The paper tackled Socio-Cultural, Political, Physical, Economic and Academic Environment.
