INTRODUCTION

T
he Moneague College is centrally located in a small rural village of Moneague in St. Ann, a village which is famous for its salubrious climate and its subterranean lake which rises periodically. The property on which the College is located was first known as Rose Hall when it was purchased by its original owner, Englishman, John Hutchinson. He left Rose Hall to his two daughters and stipulated that it would be the legacy of his grand children. In the late 1800s, the sisters failed to pay taxes on the property and the government took it over. The ensuing years saw the property taking on many functions, namely, as a hotel to house visitors to an Agricultural exhibition in the early 1890s, later as a juvenile camp for wayward girls, and during World War I, as a Soldier Camp. It was in response to the growing need for education and the training of primary school teachers that Moneague opened its doors as a training institution in 1956. Dr. Aubrey Phillips was the first principal of the institution. It opened with 104 students. Demand increased enrolment to 626 by 1978 and by the middle of the 1980s enrolment had increased to approximately 900 full time students. Initially, the College concentrated on teacher training in Primary and Early Childhood Education, but as demand increased, training for Secondary School Teachers was added. In 1981, a three year intra-mural training course was added 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 Colleges effectiveness as a Teacher Training institution was reflected in its gaining the esteemed D.R.B Grant Award for the highest achiever in Early Childhood and Primary Post Certificate Training for four consecutive years. The College earned the award six times in the ten year run of the programme. In 1993 the College evolved into a Multi- disciplinary institution, with the addition of a Community College component. The College began offering programmes such as Business Studies, Office Administration, Computer Studies, AAT, ALevels, CXC/GCE, Management Information Systems, (MIS) and Office Technology. An Evening School began in that same year, offering various professional and short courses. These included Cake Baking and Decoration, Interior Design, Floral Arrangement and Certificate in Computing. As the evolution of the Moneague College continued, 1997 saw the reintroduction of the Three -Year IntraMural Teacher Training programme in Primary Education and Secondary Education in Business Studies. To make the secondary programme more responsive to the needs of the society, in the year 2002, the College adjusted the Business Programme to include a

computer major. The Teacher Education Department was further diversified in the year 2000 with the introduction of a Three-Year Diploma course in Literacy Studies. This programme was designed to prepare teachers to meet the literacy and other reading needs of students at the Primary and Secondary levels of the educational system. The College expanded its programme offerings in 1997 and began offering, in conjunction with the University of the West Indies (Mona), Certificate in Management Studies, Public Administration and later Social Work. This relationship strengthened and in 2004, the College began offering a Bachelor of Education Degree in Literacy Studies. The partnership continued and the College began offering a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work in September 2008. In 2009 the College began offering a Masters in Education Leadership in conjunction with Sam Sharpe Teachers College and Central Connecticut State University. With further expansion of the College two satellite campuses have been established; one in Linstead and the other in Port Maria. As of September 2011 the Linstead campus is operating from the former St. Helens Preparatory School. The Port Maria Campus is located at Llandrumney Farms in Port Maria. The Moneague College is a dynamic institution, and the future will reflect this dynamism. The College has established several partnerships with universities on the North American and European Continents. Presently the College has partnerships with Munroe College, City College Birmingham, Nash Community College and New Hampshire University. Many of our graduates have gone on to pursue Bachelors and Masters Degrees at these institutions. Locally, we maintain excellent relationships with all of our national and regional universities as several of our graduates from the different programmes have earned their degrees form these Universities. The Moneague College remains committed to the adoption of initiatives that will ensure effective and efficient delivery of our services. As a fully owned Government of Jamaica institution we would like to remain on the cutting edge of innovation and service. In the last five years we have made considerable improvement in our delivery to our students and staff. We have established several new programmes and have seen resounding success in the progress of our students in the working world or in further studies. It is our goal to continue and where necessary improve our products. THE MONEAGUE COLLEGE YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS
