A brief history of Agogo Presbyterian College of Education.. At the 1928 Synod of the Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast, The Basel Mission was requested to establish a Girls School in Ashanti. The Basel Mission Womens Training College was established in Agogo on 1st March, 1931. These schools were established by a young Missionary teacher, Miss Helena Schlatter (latter became Mrs. Haegele). She was later joined by two other missionaries, Rev. Buechner and Miss G. Goetz. To ensure that high academic and moral standards were set and maintained, the students were subjected to the proverbial Presbyterian Discipline. That level of discipline indeed yielded great and wonderful dividends for all the girls and women who passed through the Girls school and training college, most of whom are in responsible positions are still very well known for their moral uprightness, general comportment and above all discipline. In 1942 during the World War II, the military took over the buildings of the Basel Mission Girls School and Training College. The Pupils and Students were taken to a Seminary @ Akropong, they however returned to Agogo in 1943. In 1950 the Presbyterian Church took over the School and college but the chain of the Missionary leadership came to an end in 1972 when Miss. Debrunner handed over to Miss Anno-Kwakye a Ghanaian.. Since its inception, the College has ran different Programmes tailored to meet the demands of the country @ the time.
