Saint Teresa’s College of Education in the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region, has marked its 60th Anniversary with a call on Government to help address the infrastructural deficit bedeviling the College. Management says the infrastructure deficit is having an adverse effect on student enrollment; thus, government should intervene to forestall it. Principal of the College, Sophia Adjoa Micah said key among them is a fence project which has come to a standstill for lack of funds. She stressed the need to get the project completed to protect lives and property.
The Saint Teresa’s College of Education, an all-female institution was established in 1961 with 35 pioneer students drawn from all the then nine regions of Ghana with the aim to give a sound moral, spiritual and professional education in the true Catholic tradition.
The College has inadequate staff, lecture halls, students’ dormitories and its 2-kilometer road network are in a deplorable state. The College, which is among the best, is without a hall of residents that befits its tertiary status. It is also without a clinic, computer laboratory, Assembly hall, or auditorium.
That notwithstanding, an auditorium project, which started in 2012 had been halted for lack of funds, compelling the College authorities to turn the small dining hall into a multipurpose one which serves as an Assembly Hall, a Chapel and an Entertainment hall.
Principal of the College, Sophia Adjoa Micah hopes government will honor its promise to provide infrastructure to the public Colleges of Education in the country.
The Municipal Chief Executive for Hohoe, Noble Awume who was in attendance, pledged to as a matter of urgency do something about the College’s road network.
Tutors and best students in some Departments were awarded for their outstanding performances.
