56th ICET World Assembly - University of Cape Coast
July 10-12 2012 - Cape Coast, Ghana
The Changing Global Perspective on the Role of Teacher and Teacher Education

The 2012 ICET World Assembly will be held at the University of Cape Coast, in the Central Region of Ghana. The University of Cape Coast is one of the rare sea-front universities in the world. The university was established in 1962 out of a dire need for highly qualified and skilled manpower in education. Thus, it was established to train graduate teachers for second cycle institutions; Teacher Training Colleges; and Technical Institutions, a mission that the two universities existing then were unequipped to fulfil. The university has since its establishment added to its functions the training of education planners, administrators, agriculturalists and, health professionals.
