Principal of the Tumu College of Education, Bernitus Adams Kaleo Principal of the Tumu College of Education in the Upper West Region, Bernitus Adams Kaleo has praised government for taken pragmatic steps to improve the quality of teacher education.

"A major component of the teacher education reforms in Ghana was the introduction of the 4-Year B. Ed Programme which is geared towards the training of highly qualified and motivated teachers who are inspired to teach."
"The curriculum is a value driven curriculum in which the National Teacher Education Curriculum Framework was driven by the nation’s core values of Honesty, Creativity and Responsible Citizenship with the intent of achieving SDG 4: Ensuring equitable quality inclusive education and lifelong learning opportunities for all."
