Management of SDA College of Education last Friday cut a cake as part of its 60th anniversary at Asokore, a suburb of Koforidua.
The Guest of Honour for the occasion, Ing. Mrs Seriel Etwire, who is the Eastern Regional Director of ECG, urged the students to be proud of being part of the celebration because teacher education was one of the best in this era of global economic crisis.
According to her, it was a teacher who modelled her in the classroom to be what she is today and, therefore, they should submit to authorities of the school and the sky would be their limit in their educational journey.
She advised them to allow humility and obedience be their hall mark as long as they lived on earth.
The Acting Principal of the College, Dr Cecilia Ofosua Odame, expressed gratitude to founding fathers as well as those who had supported the school, both in cash or kind.
She thanked the 1985 year group for donating two jumbo polytanks to the school and appealed to the other year groups to assist their alma mater.
She lamented on some of the challenges faced by the school and said water was the major one because sometimes they had to contact the Ghana Water Company offices to supply the school with water.
The College Secretary, Mrs Elsie Amisah Arthur, thanked the donors and called on other philanthropists and organisations to assist the school with a bore hole.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 30-year-old driver, Bismark Kpormeno, for possession of a large quantity of compressed plant materials suspected to be Indian hemp.
The arrest was made on Sunday, 31 May 2026 by officers of the Tema Highway Patrol Unit during an operation along the Tema-Ada road.
According to police, the suspect was driving a Hyundai Mighty I container truck and failed to stop when signaled. He attempted to evade arrest but was pursued and apprehended at Bondase.
A search of the vehicle revealed twelve 12 sacks and eighty 80 parcels of compressed plant materials concealed in a container and wrapped in sellotape.
Preliminary investigations show the narcotics were allegedly loaded at Kpeve in the Volta Region and were being transported to Ada.
The suspect is currently in police custody assisting with investigations. The truck and exhibits have been impounded for evidential purposes.
The Tema Regional Police Command says it remains committed to combating drug trafficking and other criminal activities.
