THE CAMPUS
Atebubu College of Education is a world-class academic centre of excellence, spearheading Ghana’s pursuit of Teacher training. Our campus is located at a very ideal place inside the city of Atebubu.
With an estimated eight-mile square of aesthetic beauty, a rising and falling landscape , state of the art buildings, a wide range of trees, long stretches of well-cut lawns and very conspicuous flora prettification, our community provides the right atmosphere for the holistic development of students.
There are over 50 student groups and organizations on campus, although that number keeps expanding because students are encouraged to start new clubs to fit their interests – and they don’t hesitate to do so! All student groups are governed and managed by students, and there is literally something for everybody.
