7 SECTION ONE INTRODUCTION

8 REPORT ON BASIC STATISTICS AND PLANNING PARAMETERS FOR TEACHER TRAINING COLLEGES IN GHANA / INTRODUCTION In an effort to provide adequate and reliable data and information available for policy formulation, planning and implementation of various programmes and projects in education in Ghana, the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports launched the Education Management Information System (EMIS) Project in January, 1997 with technical support during the first and second Phases from the Harvard University with funds from the World Bank and the Government of Ghana. As an integral part of the Free, Compulsory and Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) Programme, the EMIS Project was planned to build on the already existing EMIS established in 1988 in the Ministry as part of the Education Reforms. Through the EMIS, a strong database has been established within the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports. This is the third Yearbook produced for Teacher Training Colleges although data on Teacher Training Colleges has been obtained in previous years. institutional facilities. This year's information on Teacher Training Colleges as in the previous years has been produced at national and regional levels. The report is presented in four sections as follows. Section One gives a brief introduction of the report highlighting briefly the EMIS Project. Section Two gives a brief summary of the analysis of the data. An attempt has been made in the analysis to compare the previous census (2006/2007) results with those of the current census. Currently there are 38 public Teacher Training Colleges. Section Three gives a summary of tables, charts and maps for Teacher Training Colleges. The arrangement of tables followed immediately by maps and charts has been used to facilitate visualisation of the concepts being presented. Section Four provides detailed statistics at national and regional levels. This report was conducted to provide and upgrade basic data and planning parameters on enrolment, teaching staff and MOESS Page 1 EMIS Project
