Overview of University of Education, Winneba

The Department of Ewe Education started as a Two Years Specialist Certificate in the erstwhile School of Ghana Languages, which was established in 1973 at Ajumako in the Central Region of Ghana. Between 1973 and 1976, two batches of students graduated from the Department with Specialist Certificate in Ewe. In 1977, the two-year Specialist Certificate in Ewe program was upgraded to a three-year Diploma in Ewe when the status of the School of Ghana Languages had been raised to a Diploma awarding institution. The new status of the institution resulted in the phasing out of the Specialist Certificate program completely in the Ewe Department. In October 1992, when the Department was moved to Winneba to become a unit within the new Department of Ghanaian Languages Education in the Faculty of Languages Education, a two-year Post Diploma program was introduced alongside the three-year Diploma program. This additional program created the opportunity for the Diploma in Ewe holders to be upgraded to a level equivalent to a Bachelor’s Degree. These two programmes ran concurrently until 2003 when the University College of Education gained full university status and autonomy. The three-year Diploma in Ewe and the two-year Post Diploma in Ewe programs were scraped and replaced with a four-year Bachelor in Education (B.Ed) degree in Ghanaian languages. The 4 years B.Ed in Ghanaian Languages degree also ran till 2009. However, in September 2004, the expansion of the Ghanaian Languages Education program led to the split of the Department of Ghanaian Languages Education into four separate academic departments including the Department of Ewe Education. Finally, in 2009, the Bachelor in Education degree in Ghanaian languages was changed to a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ewe Education. Currently, the Ewe Department is situated at the College of Languages Education, Ajumako being among the four academic departments in the Faculty of Ghanaian Languages Education. In the year 2013, the Bachelor of Arts degree in Ewe with English was introduced. The pioneer students of this program graduated in November 2017.
