College Management

History

Enchi College of Education was established in 1965 as a male institution and became co-educational a decade later with the admission of 35 women in 1975. It re-located to its present site in 1978. The college started with a 4-year post-middle teacher's certificate ‘A’ programme. The college is located in the Aowin Municipality in the Western-North Region of the Republic of Ghana. The College's original campus was sited at the southern end of the Enchi township, now being used as the Nana Brentu Secondary Technical School. The first principal of the College was Mr. Djeo Addisson. The college was converted into a three-year post secondary teacher training college in 1988. The college's 59 years of existence so far has been marked by a number of achievements. With an initial enrolment of 70 students and 9 academic staff, the college now has a total enrolment of one thousand and seventy-eight teacher trainees. Also, the college has 96 staff, both teaching and non-teaching. In the 2002/2003 academic year, the University of Education, Winneba, chose the college as the Western Regional Centre for the Distance Education Programme to prepare certificate ‘A’ teachers for Diploma in Basic Education. In October 2019, the college started the Bachelor of Education Programmes. It is currently running distance programmes with the University of Cape Coast, University of Winneba and Jackson College of Education alongside its regular programmes. The college has been able to produce over 8814 teachers as of the 2022-2023 academic year, most of whom are currently occupying very enviable positions in the country.

Despite its busy teaching lessons and practice schedule, there are still many ways for students to get involved in extracurricular activities. The college proudly produces some sport personalities who excelled at regional, national and beyond national level.
