AMONG the reports on Budget 2017 that was announced recently, there was one on the future of the existing 27 Teacher Training Campuses (TTC) in this country.
According to a Bernama report, the Education Ministry explained in a statement last week that nine of these teacher training campuses would be turned into vocational colleges or polytechnics in line with the needs and expansion of technical vocational education and training. Two would be transformed into Permata Development Centres while the others would remain as TTC and would continue to take in new teacher trainees.
