The college is specialised in training teachers in the broad areas of Social, Agriculture and Pure Sciences, as well as Computing, Mathematics, Technical and Vocational disciplines. It is one of the about 40 public colleges of education in Ghana.[3] The college participated in the DFID-funded T-TEL programme.[4]
St. John Bosco's College of Education was established in January 1946 by the Catholic Mission. Ten male students were enrolled to pursue a 2-year post middle Teacher's Certificate ‘B’ course. Out of the ten students, seven completed the course. This course ended in 1961.[5]
St. John Bosco's has recorded several successes in academia, sports and community or social work since its establishment. The college has never scored less than 80% in yearly examinations conducted by the Institute of Education, University of Cape Coast. Several of the graduates of the college are in prominent positions in the country. In sports, the college is the pacesetter among the colleges in Northern Ghana. Bosco's has played a leading role in the education against HIV/AIDS among students in particular, and the public in the Kassena-Nankana District in general.[5]
