Enchi College of Education has been ranked the best-performing college in the Fidelity of implementation (FOI) of the Bachelor of Education Degree Programme which was introduced in October 2019.
This Ranking was done by the Ghana Tertiary Education (GTEC) in partnership with five mentoring universities, The National Teaching Council (NTC), The Transforming Teaching, Education and Learning(T-TEL) and other partner institutions in Education.
The Fidelity of Implementation exercise conducted last year accessed the extent to which the B.Ed. in Initial Teacher Education is being implemented by Ghana’s 46 Colleges of Education.
The exercise also identified areas of strength and areas requiring improvement and adjustment both nationally and for specific Colleges of Education affiliated with mentoring Universities.
