The Komenda College of Education and seven other colleges affiliated to the University of Education, UEW, have been reassigned to the Akenten Appiah Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED).

Effective from the 2023/2024 academic year, AAMUSTED will assume the role of mentor for these Eight Colleges of Education:
