About Us
The University of Education, Winneba (UEW) was established in September 1992 as a University College under PNDC Law 322. On 14th May, 2004, the University of Education, Winneba Act, Act 672 was enacted to upgrade the status of the University College of Education of Winneba to the status of a full University.
In order to prepare for institutional or academic audit or both, each institution was to have in place an Internal Quality Assurance Unit for self-assessment at programme and institutional levels (IUCEA, 2010). The University of Education, Winneba (UEW) took up the challenge by setting up a Quality Assurance Unit in 2003, and upgraded it to a Directorate in 2014 in order to enhance efficiency and full coverage of all satellite campuses of UEW. Since the upgrade to a Directorate, Quality Assurance now features as a major theme in all the Corporate Strategic Plans of the University of Education, Winneba due to the fact that the quality of academic programmes (both undergraduate and graduate), the campuses set up, lecture delivery and provision of all other services is of great importance to us.
