The study sought to find out the support system put in place at the Ada College of Education to create a conducive learning environment for pregnant students. This work is hinged on the social theory of humanism by Kwame Gyekye, which is centered on catering for the individual’s welfare, interest, and dignity in Ghanaian society. Through an unstructured interview guide whilst employing the interpretive approach, data gathered on the life of pregnant students in the college was interpreted. The study revealed that the academic programme is very stressful for pregnant students. There is also virtually no room for relaxation which is much needed. This is coupled with the fact that certain tutors do not treat pregnant students with care but rather embarrass them for their condition. These and other issues make the college quite unsafe, especially for students who are pregnant women and not married students. The study thus recommends that the Ministry of Education and the school authorities need to address some of these challenges pregnant students face at the College. This study contributes to the existing research done on the welfare of students with various health conditions. Keywords: Pregnant Students, Environment of Care, Academic support and engagement.

This study was concerned with the factors that influence effective teaching and learning at Agogo Presbyterian Teacher Training College. Because the study was limited to one college, all the students and the tutors formed the population which stood at 534 students and 35 tutors. Through the simple random sampling, 30 tutors and 130 students were selected to constitute the sample for the study. Descriptive survey research design was used and questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The self-administered questionnaires were pre-tested at Saint Louis Training College in Kumasi with a sample of 60 respondents. The pre-testing helped a lot to confirm the reliability and validity of the instruments. Data collected during the pretesting and the main data administration stages were analyzed manually and electronically using the SPSS software. Descriptive Statistics like frequency tables and simple percentages were used in data presentation and that preceded the discussion of data collected. The findings that emerged from the study indicated that most of the factors that could influence teaching and learning positively are in place and that teaching and learning in the College is going on normally. In spite of this, there were few dark spots that had to do with the library not fully stocked, and some teaching and learning materials not available in the College. It was accordingly recommended that something should be done about those dark spots to ensure continuous improvement in the academic standards of the College.

The study analyzed the Agogo Presbyterian College of Education and when it was taken over by the Government (1972Government ( -2013. This became relevant in the wake of the recent plea by the churches that the Government should hand over Mission Schools to the churches. The study therefore examines the state of management and leadership and infrastructural development both under the regime of the Missionaries and the Government. It also sought to assess academic standard of the students, and the discipline of the College, qualification of the teachers, supervision, and students' patronage of library and entry grade of students to the College with the view of establishing the progression or retrogression over the period. In doing this, a comparative study was undertaken and data were derived from archival materials of the Agogo Presbyterian College of Education, and direct interviews with past Principals and Administrators of the College. The results revealed that despite an increase in student-intake (210 students in 1942 to 750 students in 2014) with a corresponding increase of teachers (from 5 missionary teachers with lower academic degrees in 1931 to 28 teachers with masters qualifications), inadequate infrastructural development; lack of discipline and competitions among students have characterized APCE since it was managed by the Government as compared to the Missionaries. The study recommends that the Government would complete the construction of the students" hall complex, and also put up large auditorium and classroom blocks to accommodate the high students' intake in the College to enhance education delivery.
