Jackson College of Education

Founded in 2009, Jackson College of Education (JCE) is a teacher-training college that focuses on providing degree and diploma programs in education. JCE’s aim is to instill discipline and hopes for a brighter future in all, regardless of age, race, education, professional, social, and religious backgrounds and provide specialized education training and most importantly extend this training into underserved areas to improve education access.
JCE offers two major programs: Bachelor of Education (B.Ed), and a Post Graduate Diploma in Education, all via distance learning. JCE uniquely delivers a rare opportunity to beneficiaries to actively work while pursuing their academic ambitions with their distance or online learning modus operandi. Due to its mode of operation, Jackson College of Education utilises campuses of the regular colleges of education during the weekend period. The college meets students every fortnight either in an in-person class or in an online synchronous session.
Jackson College of Education is arguably one of the prominent private colleges of education amongst the eight (8) private colleges of education in Ghana. The relentless drive for quality and improvement continues to inspire it to provide top-of-the-range teaching and learning to produce world-class professionals. JCE students and graduates are highly considered in job and school applications. Jackson operates a distance learning program and has no permanent campus. The unique nature of this model has allowed them to build a presence in 13 regions, with 31 centers in 13 regions.
With multitudinous awards to their credits, JCE is locally and internationally recognized for business and educational excellence, quality, innovation, technology and leadership, among others.
