The Management of Komenda College of Education has called back thirteen (13) students to serve as teaching assistants in the college for their mandatory national service.
This decision was made possible through the efforts of the college’s management, who worked in collaboration with the National Service Secretariat to place these students within the college.
These individuals, who successfully completed their programmes of study at the college last year, have been selected to assist in various departments, aiming to contribute to the development of the college.
During an orientation session held on Thursday, 28th March, 2024, the Principal, Very Reverend Professor Kwesi Nkum Wilson asserted that these individuals were carefully selected to come and serve their departments as well as the college in their respective capacities.

Very Reverend Professor Kwesi Nkum Wilson concluded by calling on them to refrain from causing any confusion within their departments and instead strive to bring about improvement and progress.
The Vice Principal, Mr. Theophilus K. Bassaw, enlightened them on the objectives of the national service.
He emphasized the expectations that the National Service Secretariat had for them and elucidated on their responsibilities as NSS personnel within the college.
Mr. Bassaw also outlined the rules and ethics that they must adhere to as members of both the NSS and the college.
Additionally, the Chaplain of the College, Rev. Wilson Kotey Kotei, provided guidance on how they should interact with their superiors, colleagues, and students.
He stressed the significance of them fostering positive relationships, as that would contribute to favorable outcomes within their departments and the college as a whole.
Mr. Mark Eghan, the Quality Assurance Officer of the college, wrapped up the orientation by enlightening them on the effective communication channels within the college setting.
He showed them the college organogram and how they should channel their grievances and requests as members of the college community.
