Cut-Off Points for 2026/2027 College of Education Admissions in Ghana

Prospective applicants seeking admission into Colleges of Education in Ghana for the 2026/2027 academic year are encouraged to take note of the approved cut-off points required for entry.

The cut-off point serves as the minimum aggregate score a candidate must obtain in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) or other approved qualifications to qualify for admission consideration.

General Cut-Off Point

For the 2026/2027 academic year, applicants are generally expected to obtain an aggregate score of 36 or better in their BECE results to be eligible to apply for admission into a College of Education.

However, meeting the minimum cut-off point does not automatically guarantee admission. Selection is also based on available space, programme requirements, and performance in the admission process.

Basic Entry Requirements

Applicants must satisfy the following conditions:

• Obtain passes in six subjects at the BECE.
• These subjects must include English Language and Mathematics.
• Candidates must also have passes in Integrated Science and Social Studies.
• The remaining two subjects can be from elective or technical subjects.

Candidates with better aggregates stand a higher chance of gaining admission due to the competitive nature of the process.

Admission Process

Applicants who meet the required cut-off points will typically go through the following stages:

1. Purchase of the admission application form.
2. Completion of the online application process.
3. Submission of required academic documents.
4. Participation in a selection or interview process where applicable.

Successful applicants will then receive admission offers from their respective Colleges of Education.

Advice to Applicants

Prospective students are encouraged to:

• Aim for lower aggregates (better grades) to improve admission chances.
• Carefully select preferred Colleges of Education during application.
• Follow official updates from the relevant education authorities.

The Colleges of Education remain key institutions responsible for training professional teachers in Ghana. Meeting the required cut-off points is the first step toward joining the teaching profession and contributing to the country’s education sector.
