Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College (formerly Granville Teachers’ College) is a college located in Saint James, Jamaica.[1][2]
The college was established in September 1975 from funding received from the World Bank and the Government of Jamaica. Initially, this institution was called Granville Teachers’ College, a named derived from its proximity to the Granville community in Saint James. Sam Sharpe Teachers College also provided programmes outside of the teacher training curriculum to the constituents of neighbouring communities.[2][1]
In October 1975 the college was renamed Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College in honour of Samuel Sharpe.[2][1]
