Background

We offer these students a high standard of tuition which is accredited by the University of Kyambogo, Uganda and certified by South Sudan’s Ministry of Education Science And Technology.What does our teacher training involve?YTTC goes beyond offering traditional teacher training courses such as Language, Sciences, Mathematics, Social Studies and Professional Education Studies, to offering life skills subjects like Art and Crafts, Music, Information and Communication Technology etc. They may also take part in extra-curricular activities such as sports competitions, debate club or join the YTTC marching brass band. All of this gives our student teachers an experience which will inspire them, encouraging them to work towards building something similar for the coming generations they will teach.The college has recently undergone significant expansion and development with enrolment having grown from 200 to 300 students at any one time. Yei Teacher Training College also offers:
