Mkoba Teachers College is a University of Teachers of Zimbabwe, located in Gweru, Midlands Province. Mkoba Teachers College is a unique institution of primary education of the teacher located in the city of Gweru, in Zimbabwe. It was officially inaugurated on June 10, 1978, having begun enrollment programs in 1976. It was the first Primary Teacher's College to earn Associate College status at the University of Rhodesia. The establishment of the university was the result of the new policy of the colonial government regarding the "training of African teachers". 

The then Ministry of Education through its Division of African Education adopted the following principles:
• Produce 1,000 primary school teachers each year to form schools with well-trained teachers. The creation of the Mkoba Teachers' College should contribute to the realization of the 1,000 teachers produced per year.
• Provide first-class facilities for such training.
• Placing schools in the vicinity where practicing teachers could carry out the teaching practice.
• Provide all the required facilities in an African environment
• Produce an academically sound, dynamic, ingenious, innovative and professionally dedicated teacher.

Mkoba Teachers College was to be the first primary school teacher planned and built by the then Ministry of Education to meet these requirements. Mkoba was thus a blue print for future primary school teacher training colleges.
