Colleges of Education (CoE) are the main teacher training institutions. Currently, there are 46 public CoE across all regions of Ghana. They offer a three-year curriculum that leads to the Diploma in Basic Education (DBE). The curriculum is described as “uniform” and with a “national focus” even if CoE are present in every Ghanaian region. The final examinations granting the DBE are conducted by the public University of Cape Coast's Institute of Education. The holders of the DBE are allowed to teach at every level of basic education (kindergarten, primary school, junior secondary school).
