Hwange College of Education

We are the blast furnace of teacher Education,
feel the heat

Nestled in the heart of Hwange, our college stands as a growing hub of teacher education and community empowerment. Since opening our doors in May 2019, Hwange College of Education has proudly served as Matabeleland North’s first dedicated teacher training institution, preparing passionate educators equipped to teach in local languages — ChiTonga, ChiNambya and IsiNdebele.

What began in the modest annex of Thomas Coulter Primary School has blossomed into a beacon of hope and progress for the region. Guided by the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development, we remain committed to shaping the future of education in Zimbabwe - one teacher, one student, and one community at a time.
