For some time now, it has become the culture of Komenda College of Education to hold students’-staff consultative meetings.
The meeting comes off once in every semester.
At such meetings, students express their concerns and the staff react by either confirming, denying or explaining the issues raised.

One of the insightful statements he made in his address was the fact that the college as part of its preparations towards their 75th Anniversary Celebration is going to put up a cafeteria.
He also added that, plans are advanced in putting up an ‘Assai Mall’. He expressed the hope that, upcoming Students’ Representative Council(SRC) will buy into the idea and makes it a reality soon.
He, as usual, touched on Gender Equality and Social Inclusion issues by admonishing the learners to stick to their goals and visions and desist from any form of sexual immorality.
After his address, the forum was open for the students to express their concerns which were mostly questions, suggestions and appeals.
The Deputy Dean of Students’ Affairs, Mr. Uriel Amoah, who moderated the programme systematically invited students to express their concerns.
Most of the complains of the students boarded on feeding, social lives, academics, and some inconveniences some students face during the Supported Teaching in Schools programs.
