INTRODUCTIONT he Moneague College is centrally located in asmall rural village of Moneague in St. Ann, a vil-lage which is famous for its salubrious climate and itssubterranean lake which rises periodically. The prop-erty on which the College is located was first knownas Rose Hall when it was purchased by its originalowner, Englishman, John Hutchinson. He left RoseHall to his two daughters and stipulated that itwould be the legacy of his grand children. In the late1800s, the sisters failed to pay taxes on the propertyand the government took it over. The ensuing yearssaw the property taking on many functions, namely,as a hotel to house visitors to an Agricultural exhibi-tion in the early 1890s, later as a juvenile camp forwayward girls, and during World War I, as a SoldierCamp.

It was in response to the growing need for educationand the training of primary school teachers that

Moneague opened its doors as a training institution in1956. Dr. Aubrey Phillips was the first principal of theinstitution. It opened with 104 students. Demand in-creased enrolment to 626 by 1978 and by the middleof the 1980s enrolment had increased to approxi-mately 900 full time students. Initially, the Collegeconcentrated on teacher training in Primary andEarly Childhood Education, but as demand increased,training for Secondary School Teachers was added. In1981, a three year intra-mural training course wasadded to the curriculum.

The College was closed in 1985 but reopened in 1987,with a new focus: the training of a group of teachers

who held Trained Teachers Certificates. The Collegeseffectiveness as a Teacher Training institution wasreflected in its gaining the esteemed D.R.B GrantAward for the highest achiever in Early Childhoodand Primary Post Certificate Training for four con-secutive years. The College earned the award sixtimes in the ten year run of the programme.

In 1993 the College evolved into a Multi- disciplinaryinstitution, with the addition of a Community Collegecomponent. The College began offering programmessuch as Business Studies, Office Administration, Com-puter Studies, AAT, ALevels, CXC/GCE, ManagementInformation Systems, (MIS) and Office Technology.An Evening School began in that same year, offering

various professional and short courses. These includedCake Baking and Decoration, Interior Design, FloralArrangement and Certificate in Computing.

As the evolution of the Moneague College continued,1997 saw the reintroduction of the Three -Year Intra-Mural Teacher Training programme in Primary Edu-cation and Secondary Education in Business Studies.To make the secondary programme more responsiveto the needs of the society, in the year 2002, the Col-lege adjusted the Business Programme to include a

computer major. The Teacher Education Depart-ment was further diversified in the year 2000 withthe introduction of a Three-Year Diploma course inLiteracy Studies. This programme was designed toprepare teachers to meet the literacy and otherreading needs of students at the Primary and Secon-dary levels of the educational system.

The College expanded its programme offerings in1997 and began offering, in conjunction with the Uni-versity of the West Indies (Mona), Certificate in Man-agement Studies, Public Administration and laterSocial Work. This relationship strengthened and in2004, the College began offering a Bachelor of Edu-cation Degree in Literacy Studies. The partnershipcontinued and the College began offering a Bachelorof Science Degree in Social Work in September 2008.In 2009 the College began offering a Masters in Edu-cation Leadership in conjunction with Sam Sharpe

Teachers College and Central Connecticut State Uni-versity.

With further expansion of the College two satellitecampuses have been established; one in Linstead andthe other in Port Maria. As of September 2011 theLinstead campus is operating from the former St.Helens Preparatory School. The Port Maria Campusis located at Llandrumney Farms in Port Maria.

The Moneague College is a dynamic institution, andthe future will reflect this dynamism. The College hasestablished several partnerships with universities onthe North American and European Continents. Pres-

ently the College has partnerships with Munroe Col-lege, City College Birmingham, Nash CommunityCollege and New Hampshire University. Many of ourgraduates have gone on to pursue Bachelors andMasters Degrees at these institutions. Locally, wemaintain excellent relationships with all of our na-tional and regional universities as several of ourgraduates from the different programmes haveearned their degrees form these Universities.

The Moneague College remains committed to theadoption of initiatives that will ensure effective andefficient delivery of our services. As a fully ownedGovernment of Jamaica institution we would like toremain on the cutting edge of innovation and ser-

vice. In the last five years we have made consider-able improvement in our delivery to our studentsand staff.
