The Old Students of Accra College of Education (ACEPSA) are calling on government to appoint an old Student as Principal of the College .

The Alumni are appealing to government to appoint a qualified Alumnus to succeed the Current Principal, Mrs Christina Henaku Bampo as she retires anytime soon.

According to the Alumni of the nation’s City College Of Education, it was prudent that an Old Student succeeded the Current Principal to help manage the affairs of the College as she approaches her retirement.

The Alumni indicated that as the College prepares to be converted into a Fully fledged Tertiary Institution, there was the need for an Alumnus to take over the affairs of the College since the Alumnus knows the terrain of development in the College and is likely to promote development in the College.

The Old Students also indicated that an Alumnus would understand the management of the College better since he or she will love to make sure his or her Alma Mater achieves the best in all of its endeavors.

According to the Alumni, the opportunity needed to be given to Old Students who are very active and contributed in diverse ways to the development of the College,mainly in the capacity as Old Students, some of whom have themselves doubled and served as Staff of the College for over decades and whose influence have benefited the College as well as its Continuing and Past Students.

The Alumni are therefore appealing to the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) to consider a qualified Alumnus to take over the management of the College.

The Old Students however alleged that  there has been a huge suspicion that some individuals or groups of people have teemed up to get their favourites who are not Old Students of the College to fill this vacant position even though some qualified old students from Accra College of Education have applied for same position.

According to the Old Students, this has been the situation in almost all Colleges of Education and they feel this is the best time for Accra College to have one of their own as Principal of the College.

They have threatened resisting whoever may be appointed should they sideline them again and still go for an outsider.
