In 1975, it became a co-educational college with the admission of thirty-five women. It was re-located to its present premises in 1978. In politics, the College also produced some political figures in Ghana's history. The former Western Regional Minister and a current Member of the Ghana Parliament for Sefwi-Wiawso is a product of Enchi College of Education. Others notable personalities: Hon Mathias Kwame Ntow (MP for Aowin constituency, Western region) Madam Victoria Aidoo (Principal of the Enchi College of Education), etc. Despite its busy teaching lessons and practice schedule, there are still many ways for students to get involve in extra-curricula activities.
