ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of the committee system in the management of Colleges of Education in the Central Region of Ghana. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. A sample of 220 tutors and 43 students was used for the study. The sample was selected through purposive, census and proportional stratified sampling. Data was collected through the use of a researcher-designed questionnaire for both tutors and students. Data was analysed descriptively using frequencies and percentages and means and standard deviations. The study revealed that the committees in the sampled colleges were functional. Specifically, the committees were willing to seek the progress of the Colleges, engaged in decision making concerning students, planning and review of academic calendar and assessment and evaluation of staff and students. In addition, the study found that most of the committees were perceived as necessary in the management of the colleges. Finally, the study showed that Committee Systems encountered several challenges such as the presence of too many bureaucracies resulting in delays in decision making, authorities not carrying out recommendations of committees, nature and frequency of meetings, inadequate financial and administrative support. It was concluded that the Committee Systems in the Colleges of Education in the Central Region were effective in the performance of their roles. It was recommended therefore that authorities of Colleges of Education should implement the recommendations of committees as and when necessary.
