About Us

DESA-UEW was inaugurated in 19^th August 2017 as a Students’ Association to foster and champion the interest and welfare of all Students of the College for Distance and e-Learning (CODeL) of the University of Education, Winneba.

What We're All About

DESA-UEW stands for Distance Education Students’ Association of the University of Education, Winneba. It is meant to bring together as a family all students of the distance programme.

Learn Something Every Day

Distance Education is not for the academically weak and the intellectual dunderheads as the public is made to believe instead it is for those who are willing to defy the odds through sacrifice, commitment, and perseverance.
Distance Education is a holistic tool for National Development…
I believe that the misconception about Distance Education is a challenge to policymakers and the institutions who are implementing this mode of higher education to carefully and responsibly plan the programmes to meet the ethical and academic standards of our Society.
I believe that we can gradually win the trust and acceptance of our critics with a proper policy seeking to bring solutions to the economic, social, and political challenges we are facing as a Nation.
I have a firm belief in Distance Education Students and I stand with them in Solidarity.

Our Vision

Who We Are

"It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows."

To bring together students under the Distance Education program and develop a sense of belonging to the Union, and make a positive impact on members’ students’ journey.

Feeling like an outsider is a personally painful, negative experience, a cognitive distraction that undermines focus and academic performance.
We are passion to create a feeling that members are recognized for their achievements and valued as individuals, and this will encourage Students to excel in their academic pursuit and connect with other colleagues. It is one of the core drivers to improve students engagement.

Our Misson

What We Do

"It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows."

Enhancing students’ experience through service while striving to support the Educational Mission of the University.

Diversity is important in every certain. That is why, enhancing your experience as a student is held in high esteem.
Development comes through knowledge about and knowledge acquired. How vested you are with things surrounding DESA enhances your experience not only in the academic world, but in connecting and leading.
You matter and so must make use of the opportunity to broaden your horizon of learning to better yourself.
