History

The S.D.A College of Education was established by the government in collaboration with the SDA Church on 26 October 1962 with 120 students. The College is about 84 kilometres from Accra, Ghana’s capital. It has an area of 35.9 hectares (about 88.75 acres).[5]

The College has a vision to become a college of academic excellence and a leading teacher education institution with a world-wide acclaim. The mission of the College is to provide quality education with professional skills, leading to the development of basic school teachers inculcated with all Christian values such as honesty, discipline, resourcefulness, integrity, intelligence and humility coupled with professional work ethics. In the light of this mission, the college trains the youth to be functional, utilitarian, flexible, and problem-solving leaders.[5]
