Ivan Sache, 10 April 2017The University of Education, Winneba (UEW) was established in September, 1992

The principal motif of the University Crest, the “AdinkraNtesie” is a
Ghanaian cultural symbol associated with wisdom and knowledge as the essential
ingredients of education. Arising from the “Adinkra” motif is a torch radiating
its light in all directions, suggesting that the knowledge nurtured at the
University would become a source of enlightenment to all people far and wide. It
is a flame that would dispel the darkness of ignorance. The Starburst motif of
the Crest is made up of different wave lengths and conveys the idea that
teachers trained by the University would disperse into every corner of the
country and render services to all Ghanaians irrespective of social status,
religion or sex. The red colour combines with the blue against a background of
pure
white to symbolise hard work and perseverance. All the symbols are set
in a circle bearing the motto: Education for Service and symbolising the
completeness of training at the University of Education, Winneba.
