History of the Institution
The College was established in April 1976 with its temporary site in Kano until 25th of February, 1980 when it was transferred to its permanent site at Gumel under the directive of the Kano State civilian Governor then. Later the College administration was centralized with six other Colleges under the then Kano State Institute for Higher Education on the 1st July, 1987. The then Kano State College of Education consisting of former Advanced Teachers’ College Gumel and Kumbotso, Kano were established under the Kano State Colleges of Education Edict of 1987.
The creation of Jigawa State out of Kano State automatically converted the College to Jigawa State on the 24th of December, 1991. The edict establishing the College was promulgated in 1992.
The institution began as a Grade II Teachers’ College in 1978 and has expanded into a large college that offers National Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes. Over the decades, the college expanded from a small teacher training institution into a comprehensive College of Education offering NCE, Pre-NCE, degree, and diploma programmes across six schools. Management of the Jigawa State College of Education, Gumel concluded preparations to kick-start about nine degree courses, now run in affiliation with Bayero University Kano (BUK), covering both Arts/Social Sciences and Sciences disciplines.
The college has benefited extensively from TETFund annual and special interventions covering physical infrastructure, academic staff training and development, entrepreneurship, library development, conference attendance, institution-based research, ICT support, equipment fabrication, teaching practice, academic research journal publication, and academic manuscript development.
