The College of Education, University of Ghana, has unveiled a new official cloth to strengthen its brand identity and promote a deeper sense of unity and belonging among members of its community.

The newly designed fabric, produced in elegant blue and black-and-white prints, replaces the previous design which is no longer available. The initiative is part of the College’s broader strategy to promote visibility, unity and institutional pride among students, staff, alumni and partners.
