The Mount Mary College of Education is one of the 46 Colleges of Education in the country.
Mount Mary College of Education is situated north-east of Somanya, on a hill overlooking the Somanya and Odumase townships. The institution was founded by American Catholic SVD Missionaries at Agormanya in 1947.
Mount Mary College was opened with 23 male students to pursue two-year Post Middle Teacher’s Certificate ‘B’ course. The college was moved to its present location in December 1951.
The motto of the college is VIRTUS ET SCIENTIA (Character and Knowledge). Mt. Mary College has had the occasion to offer several courses at different levels of attainment in line with government policy on teacher education, in addition to the initial Certificate ‘B’ course.
Certificate ‘A’ Post ‘B’ was started in January 1953. In January 1954, the college added a third variety of students – Teachers’ External Certificate holders, who were admitted to do a two-year course for the award of the Teacher’s Certificate ‘A’ Post ‘B’ External. In 1963, Teacher’s Certificate ‘A’ 4-year was started.
These two courses remained till 1974 when the status of the college changed to 2-year Post Secondary College. A year later, the first batch of French students was admitted for a 3-year Post Secondary course.
The course in French received support from the French government in the areas of equipment, personnel, teaching, and learning materials. Students go for proficiency courses in neighbouring Francophone countries.
In addition to French, Agricultural Science, Basic Science, Mathematics, Ghanaian Languages, Music, Religious and Physical Education are offered by the students.
The college remained a male institution until September 1974 when it became co-educational with the admission of 20 female students.
