With the Government take-over of schools in the state in 1973, the management of the College went from the direct control of the Ministry of Education to the Board of Education with particular reference to the appointment and deployment to staff to the school.[4]
Edo College has undergone many evolutionary changes in its educational structure. It had initially began as a day school, then boarding school for boys only but reverted to day school in the 1980s. In the mid-1990s it briefly had a dichotomous structure, day and evening school. Recently following donations from its most successful alumni it is now moving towards boarding school with a total student population of 800 and an average tuition of 60,000 Naira.
All these subjects are carefully woven throughout the 3-3 format of the Nigerian secondary school system. That is 3 years of Junior Secondary School and 3 years of Senior secondary school. A pre-undergraduate level the Higher School Certificate (HSC) /Advanced School Certificate (A-level) are being reintroduced.[4]
