History

Jasikan College of Education was first established at Peki Blengo as a Body Cooperate college (BODYCO) on 21 January 1952 with the motto ‘ SAPERE AUDE’ which means ‘DARE TO BE WISE’. Thirty male students were enrolled at its inception. The pioneer staff included Rev. Eugene Garu, a German-American missionary, Ag. Principal, Messrs H.B.K. Ogbete and P.K. Kpeto.[4]

The college moved to Jasikan in December 1952. Nana Osei Brantuo III released land for its development. The college started with a 2-year Teacher's Certificate ‘B’ Post Middle programme in 1952. The programme was upgraded to 4-year Teacher's Certificate ‘A’ Post Middle/2-year Post ‘B’. The 2-year Teacher's Certificate ‘A’ Post Secondary was introduced into the college in 1974. In 1975, it admitted the first batch of 3-year Post Secondary students. Between 1985 and 1991, the college run the Modular programme. The Diploma in Basic Education programme was introduced in October 2004 for regular students; in 2005 for untrained teachers and in 2006 for Certificate ‘A’ teachers on sandwich basis.[4]
