About Us

The Complementary Education Agency (CEA) was established by the CEA Act, 2020 (Act 1055) to oversee the provision and administration of quality Complementary Education (CE) in Ghana, and to provide for related matters. The Act introduces a substantial transformation and expansion of the previous responsibilities held by the Non-Formal Education Division (NFED) within the Ministry of Education (MoE), which was mandated to provide functional literacy programmes for non-literate and semi-literate adults, into a body corporate to oversee the provision, administration and promotion of quality CE in Ghana. However, the CEA is required to strategically position itself and to have a clear focus and direction to perform its functions as provided under Act 1055.
