Founded in 2024, the College aims to produce professional educators to fill the gap in professional teacher demand and supply. For this purpose, we aim to provide a uniquely decent environment for the development of educators who will be taught to be proud of their profession and inculcate self-esteem and confidence in them to attract the next generation of educators.
The College occupies a generous 20 Hectare land in a serene environment conducive to learning and teaching. There are six primary schools and four secondary schools within a five-kilometer radius of the College location and a demonstration Junior Secondary school within five hundred meters of the College.
The infrastructure and learning environment are aimed at making the student educators proud, and professional from the day they enter the College until they graduate. To fulfill this, the facilities are carefully selected to meet world standards for a learning institution. The College has completed its first academic block of 18 lecture halls, four offices, and a temporary library, and the assembly hall is almost 70% done. The mechanical workshop platform is completed and awaiting the erection of the vocational office block. The five-year plan aims to erect the administrative block, language, and science laboratories and workshops. The College’s five-year plan is to introduce business, vocational, arts, and science taking advantage of its large expanse of land.
