History of SPH

The school’s mandate is to educate and train high-quality teachers, physical educators, and administrators, at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It provides quality training that prepares its graduates for a career in the educational sector by leveraging on UG’s excellent library facilities combined with the available information technology and learning management systems.

The SEL’s scope encompasses the following areas: studies in education and leadership, teacher training and professional development and studies in physical education and sports. There is a rich diversity of undergraduate and postgraduate master’s courses tailored to meet the aspirations of students and boost their educational and professional capacities.

The School of Education and Leadership allows its students to embark on either the first approach to a teaching career or the non-teaching path through the hosted graduate and undergraduate programmes for professional career development as teachers in basic schools, senior high schools or as administrators. Majors in Early Childhood and Basic Education (Early Grade, Upper Grade, and JHS Specialism) as well as secondary education with concentrations in Mathematics, Science, and English, are available at the undergraduate level. The Early Grade Education major is in line with Ghana's early childhood education policy.
