The Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin which has as its Motto: “EDUCATION FOR EXCELLENCE”, was established in September, 1974. It was then christened School of Education and administered by the Kwara State College of Technology, Ilorin. The School started with only thirteen academic staff. The College was later moved to a temporary site along Ilorin Lagos Road where it occupied the former Federal Government College premises pending the time its permanent structure would be erected as its permanent site in Oro. However, the then Governor of Kwara State, Alhaji Adamu Attah declared in his convocation address to the College in 1980, that the College would remain in Ilorin while another one was to be established in Oro. It was that the College was reafiliated to the University of Ilorin. The philosophy of the College is based on the integration of the individual into a sound and effective citizenry. This is summed up in its motto: EDUCATION FOR EXCELLENCE. Since no education system and rise can rise above the quality of its teachers, the College in pursuance of its philosophy lays emphasis on the production of highly motivated, conscientious, efficient and effective classroom teachers. The college is also committed to the production of teachers with the intellectual and professional background adequate for their assignment and to make them adaptable to any changing situation not only in the life of their country but also in the world.
