Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education

by Nigerian Information Directory on February 17, 2010 · 24 comments

in Colleges of Education

Adeniran Ogunsanya was established in 1958 as a Grade III , with a population of about ninety students, the College has since undergone significant transformation both in focus and structure over the past five decades.

The transformation took the College through an upward mobility from Grade III teachers’ college-to Grade II and later to one that trains teachers for the award of Nigeria Certificate in Education and also serves as an affiliate college of a university awarding first degrees and post graduate diploma certificates in education.

This upward mobility can be attributed to the ever increasing demand for teachers and population explosion among those seeking admission into the College programmes.

Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, formerly known as Lagos State College of Education moved to its present and permanent site in 1982 in response to the problem of grossly inadequate land space in relation to the demand for the development of modern infrastructural facilities and increasing population of at its Surulere site. After a period of rapid growth, enrolments in the College have reached an all time high level.

The College is a non-residential teacher training institution with academic endeavours spanning a very broad spectrum of academic disciplines in education including core as well as elective subjects taught at the basic education and  post basic education levels of the Nigerian educational system. These academic disciplines are organised in seven by departments and six centres
