This rapid study explores teacher educators’ perceptions of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education, conducted through a descriptive survey involving 55 educators from two colleges education Ghana. A convenience sampling technique was adopted for data collection, and analysis using <i>exploratory factor analysis</i> used to identify primary factors shaping preparedness GenAI integration. Key findings reveal generally positive perception among the educators, who recognize GenAI’s potential support academic achievement, increase student engagement, improve communication within settings. The further indicate that background factors, such as age, years teaching experience, department, college, do not significantly predict their GenAI. Since none these measured were significant predictors, this suggests training resources should be broadly prioritized, accessible, heavily tailored specific demographic groups. However, identified concerns <i>barriers challenges</i> including ethical issues, fairness assessment, possible adverse effects on educator-student relationship. <i>communication independence</i> highlight need professional development, with emphasizing importance usage optimize its educational potential. concludes while benefits, there are essential practical challenges address.
