殖民管治初期，港府鼓勵教會和其他團體辦學，同時容許傳統學塾的存在。1842年，馬禮遜學堂從澳門遷至香港，其後英華書院、聖保羅書院等教會學校陸續遷港或在港成立。1847年，政府成立教育委員會，監管受補助的中文私塾，其後受補助的學塾歸政府辦理，並稱為皇家書館（亦稱國家義學）。
In the early days of colonial rule, the then Hong Kong government encouraged churches and other organisations to run schools, while also allowing traditional schools. In 1842, Morrison Memorial School moved from Macao to Hong Kong, and was followed by the establishment or relocation of other church schools such as Ying Wa College, St. Paul’s College. In 1847, the government set up the Education Committee to oversee the subsidised Chinese village schools, which were subsequently administered by the government and were known as government schools.
1853年，兩位聖保羅書院學生在校內接受師範培訓後，被派至中環及黃泥涌的政府學校教授英文，開創香港師範教育的先河。
In 1853, two students who had trained as pupil teachers at St. Paul’s College were sent to teach English in government schools in Central and Wong Nai Chung, pioneering teacher education in Hong Kong.

1860年，政府計劃將各皇家書館學童集中於一間書館，進行分班教學。1862年，官立的中央書院（又名大書院，現皇仁書院）於上環歌賦街落成，提供中西兼備的課程。校長史釗域為培訓該校教師，於1865年開始挑選成績優異的學生接受教師訓練。
In 1860, the government decided to bring schoolchildren together in one school organised into separate classes. In 1862, The Government Central School (now Queen’s College) was inaugurated on Gough Street in Sheung Wan, offering both Chinese and Western programmes. Frederick Stewart, the Headmaster of Government Central School, started selecting high-achieving students in 1865 and training them to become teachers at the School.

1907年，政府開辦香港實業專科學院（亦稱香港科技專科學校），負責培訓在職的非合格教師，畢業證書為文憑級。學院首設在職英文師資班，其後於1914年增設漢文師資班，二者皆為夜間兼讀課程，故又稱夜師。學院於1935年改稱香港專科夜學院，直至1950年才告停辦。
In 1907, the government established the Hong Kong Technical Institute (also known as the Hong Kong Vocational School) to train in-service unqualified teachers, awarding them diploma-level certificates upon graduation. The Institute offered the first in-service English Teacher’s Class, followed by the Vernacular Teacher’s Class in 1914. The two classes were both part-time evening courses. The Institute was later renamed Hong Kong Evening Institute, until it was closed in 1950.

民國成立後，本港中文學校數量日增，而不少來港定居之滿清遺老，亦多投入辦學及教學工作。香港政府為有效監管全港學校，於1913年頒布《教育條例》，除了定出嚴格的法規外，亦成立全日制師訓學校，訓練本地師資。
After the establishment of the Republic of China, the number of local Chinese schools kept growing. Many of the remnants of the Qing dynasty who came to settle in Hong Kong were also involved in running and teaching at these schools. In 1913, the government promulgated the Education Ordinance to regulate all schools in Hong Kong and decided to set up full-time teacher-training schools to train local teachers.
時任總督司徒拔於1920年開辦官立男子漢文師範學堂（簡稱日師）和官立漢文女子師範學堂（簡稱女師）。日師和女師均着重培訓以中文授課的教師。
The then Governor, Sir Reginald Edward Stubbs established the Vernacular Normal School for Men and the Vernacular Normal School for Women in 1920. Both schools focused on training teachers to teach in Chinese.

1898年，《展拓香港界址專條》簽訂後，政府為發展新界，亟欲為新界地區的小學培養合格教師，再加上1922年初的香港海員罷工及1925年的省港大罷工，為香港社會帶來強烈動盪和高漲的民族情緒，政府乃於1926年開辦大埔官立漢文師範學校（簡稱埔師）。1941年，埔師因日本侵華而停辦。
In 1898, after the signing of the Convention Respecting an Extension of the Hong Kong Territory, the government, in order to develop the New Territories, urgently needed to train qualified teachers for primary schools in the New Territories. Moreover, the Seamen’s Strike in early 1922 and the Canton-Hong Kong strike in 1925 brought about a strong upheaval and heightened national sentiment in Hong Kong society. As a result, in 1926, the government established Taipo Vernacular Normal School. In 1941, Taipo Vernacular Normal School was closed due to the Japanese invasion of China.

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。1941 年，香港師資學院改稱羅富國師範學院。
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. In 1941, the Teachers Training College was renamed Northcote Training College.

重光之後，總督楊慕琦於1946年成立官立鄉村師範學校（簡稱鄉師，後改稱官立鄉村師範專科學校），取代埔師，成為戰後培訓新界教師的院校。鄉師校舍先後設於粉嶺總督別墅、粉嶺兒童保育院及元朗屏山張園（今屯門藍地妙法寺位置）等。
After the war, the then Governor, Sir Mark Aitchison Young established the Rural Training College in 1946, replacing Taipo Vernacular Normal School as the post-war teacher training institution for the New Territories. The Rural Training College was located at the Governor’s Fanling Lodge, the Fanling Child-care Association, and Cheung Yuen in Ping Shan, Yuen Long (now the location of the Miu Fat Buddhist Monastery in Lam Tei, Tuen Mun).

戰後本港適齡學童人口大增，教師供應問題亟待解決。羅富國師範學院於1946年3月復課，先後開設兼讀制及全日制小學教師培訓課程，以及兼讀制中學教師培訓課程。
After the war, the surging school-age students made teacher supply a top priority. In March 1946, Northcote Training College resumed operation and offered part-time and full-time primary school teacher training courses, as well as part-time secondary school teacher training courses.

1950年，英國教育官菲沙來港考察，翌年發表報告，建議政府成立新的師範院校。政府於1951年開辦葛量洪師範專科學校，主力培訓以中文授課的小學教師。學制只有一年，是「速成班」。1953 年，鄉師併入葛量洪師範專科學校，並於翌年停辦。
In 1950, N. G. Fisher, the Chief Education Officer in the United Kingdom, came to Hong Kong on a study tour and published a report in the following year that recommended the government to set up new teacher training colleges. In 1951, the government opened Grantham Training College to train primary school teachers to teach in Chinese, with a one-year “crash course”. In 1953, the Rural Training College was merged into Grantham Training College and ceased operation in the following year.

1950代末，羅富國師範學院與葛量洪師範專科學校的學額追不上需求，政府乃於1960年開辦附屬於葛量洪師範專科學校的第三師範專科學校，校舍初期在老虎岩（今樂富）官立小學第四至第六層，學額達188名，令全日制受訓準教師增加至九百名。翌年脫離葛量洪師範專科學校成為一所獨立院校，並易名為柏立基師範專科學校。
In the late 1950s, the population of school-age children in Hong Kong continued to grow and the number of places provided by Grantham Training College and Northcote Training College could no longer keep up with the demand. Therefore, in 1960, the Government opened the Third Training College, which was affiliated with Grantham Training College, initially housed on the fourth to sixth floors of the Lo Fu Ngam (now Lok Fu) Government Primary School, with a capacity of 188 school places, bringing the number of full-time teacher trainees to 900. In 1961, the Third Training College was renamed Sir Robert Black Training College.

In June 1992, the Education Commission recommended the amalgamation of the then five government teacher training colleges to form an independent and autonomous tertiary institution.
