Additional Charges and Notes for All Continuing Students
PRINCOF has outlined additional important details for all continuing teacher trainees for the 2025/2026 academic year:
1. Feeding Fees
The feeding fees for all continuing students will not be paid directly by students. Instead, these fees will be covered by the Government of Ghana as part of the teacher trainee allowance and paid directly to the respective Colleges of Education.
2. Examination Fees
Each student will pay an average examination fee of GH¢1,060.00 per academic year. This amount covers assessments, examinations, and related administrative expenses.
3. Residential Fees
Students residing on campus are required to pay a residential fee of GH¢1,000.00 per annum. This covers accommodation and related residential facilities within the college.
4. Digital Resource Fee
All continuing students are to pay a Digital Resource Fee of GH¢600.00 per year. This fee supports access to online learning platforms, digital materials, and technological resources used in academic instruction.
5. TTAG Project Levy
The Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) has instituted a Project Levy of GH¢30.00 per student annually. This levy supports various national projects and initiatives undertaken by TTAG.
Institution-Specific Fees
While the above fees represent the standardized national structure, PRINCOF notes that individual Colleges of Education may include other GTEC-approved institutional charges. Students are therefore encouraged to await official communication from their respective colleges for the exact total amount payable.
Payment Guidelines for Continuing Students
All continuing students are required to pay at least 70% of their total fees (including institutional charges) before the commencement of the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. This policy ensures smooth academic registration and participation in lectures and examinations.
