Komenda College Of Education was established on the premises of the barracks left by the Fleet Air of the British Navy after the Second World War.
The barracks waa set on the Assai hills, a place of the town where criminals and outcasts were sent to. Though the efforts of Mr. A.B. Sam, the then regent of Komenda, the legacy was pleased to the Methodist Church Ghana in 1947 to be used as a Methodist Teacher Training College. The Government of Ghana later renovated the buildings to make the old barracks suitable for academic work.
On 11th March, 1948, the first batch of students of forty men were enrolled to start an initial 2 – year Teachers’ Certificate “B” Programme. In 1952, the College became a Co-Educational Institution with its first batch of thirty women. It was established as Komenda Training College but has presently become Komenda College Of Education per the Government’s Policy to upgrade Teacher Training Colleges into Colleges of Education. The first Principal of the College was Mr. Lawrence Alfred Creepy, a British national. The motto of the College is “Bep)wso Kurow Hyer3n meaning a city on a hill, shines forth. M.H.B. 577 is the College hymn.
