政府於1933年修訂《教育條例》,規定「未經教育司許可,不得在任何學校充當教員」,對教師註冊嚴加規定。另一方面,中文學校數目的增加,形成對師資的大量需求。1935年,英國視學官賓尼前來香港考察,建議成立一所新的師範院校,以應所需。1939年,政府成立香港師資學院,並分別於1940年及1941年停辦日師和女師。香港師資學院成立之初,校址暫設於西營盤醫院道的國家醫院院長宿舍。1941年,香港師資學院遷往位於般咸道9A號的新校舍,並易名為羅富國師範學院。

The government revised the Education Ordinance in 1933, which stipulated that “Before any teacher is employed in any school, the written permission of the Director of Education for the particular employment contemplated must be obtained,” thus imposing stringent requirements on the registration of teachers. That said, the increase in the number of Chinese language schools came with a huge demand for teachers. In 1935, the British Inspector of Schools (H.M.I), Edmund Burney, visited Hong Kong and suggested establishing a new Government Normal School to meet demand. The government set up the Teachers Training College in 1939 to cater to the demand, and ceased the operation of the Vernacular Normal School for Men and the Vernacular Normal School for Women in 1940 and 1941, respectively. When the Teachers Training College was established, it was temporarily housed in the Superintendent’s House of Government Civil Hospital at Hospital Road, Sai Ying Pun. In 1941, the Teachers Training College was moved to a new campus at 9A Bonham Road and renamed Northcote Training College.
