The Adeyemi Federal University of Education is a federal government higher education institution located in Ondo City, Ondo State, Nigeria.[1][2] It is affiliated with Obafemi Awolowo University for its degree programmes.[3][4] Adeyemi College of Education was named after Canon M. C. Adeyemi (one of the earliest educationists in Yorubaland)[5] in recognition of his immense contribution to educational development in the then Ondo Province.

It was established in 1963 to produce qualified teachers to teach in secondary schools and teachers' training colleges and to conduct research and experiments on methods of teaching at all levels of education in Nigeria. It formally commenced operations on 22 May 1964 with 93 students, 24 women and 69 men, and has metamorphosed into a first class College of Education in Nigeria and in the West Africa sub-region.[6] Presently, it has five schools – Arts and Social Sciences, Education, Languages, Sciences, and Vocational and Technical Education – with a total of 28 academic departments.[citation needed]

Teachers college (up to 1963), The Ransome Kuti College of Education, The Olunloyo College of Education and Ohio Teachers Project, Ondo all constituted the solid foundation on which it was built.
