Overview

It was founded on July 20, 1948, staffed by dismissed teachers from St Augustines College and Mfantsipim.[2] The college was founded by the first Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah using his own funds, for eight students who had been expelled by the British colonial administration from St. Augustine’s College. The expulsion resulted from a protest march, held in solidarity with Nkrumah who was then imprisoned.[3]
