It is one of the about 46 public colleges of education in Ghana. The college participated in the DFID-funded T-TEL programme. It was founded in September 1960 by the Kumasi Catholic Diocese and is affiliated to the University of Education, Winneba. It has always trained women but trained men for a brief period between 1974 and 1981. History In September 1960, the Catholic Diocese of Kumasi established St. Louis College of Education. The first principal was Sr. Mary Consilli. She was assisted by Sr. Mary Vibiana and three other members of staff. The pioneer students were thirty-five with Miss Grace Owusu as the College prefect. Nana Otumfuo Osei Agyeman Prempeh II donated a vast expanse of land for the establishment of the college, but unfortunately the land has been encroached upon, making it impossible for the expansion of infrastructural facilities. The teething problem that faced the college in its early days was funding. In view of that, it was run with funds from the salaries of the Principal and her [[Vice, as well as support from the Catholic Diocese of Kumasi, funding agencies abroad and other local well-wishers. Since its establishment, the college has gone through the following programmes: 4-year Post Middle Certificate ‘A’, 2-year Post Secondary Certificate ‘A’, 3-year Post Secondary Certificate ‘A’, and it is now running 3-year Diploma in Basic Education. It has been accredited as a tertiary institution since September, 2007. The College has always trained women except for a short period from 1974/75 to 1980/81 academic years when it trained men as well. In the 1997/98 academic year, the College became the first women's teacher training college in Ghana to run a Science course sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation through Female education in Mathematics and Science Association which was introduced in the 2004/05 academic year. The College has total staff strength of 112, made up of 59 teaching staff and 53 non-teaching staff. The total regular students population for 2007/08 academic year stands at 906.
