The Teachers’ Training College has been entrusted by the Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training to ensure that students, teachers, other educators and aspiring educational leaders are given the necessary educational training, not only to enhance their pedagogy but to foster the development of leadership competencies, which engage in professional learning communities.
