Bombay Teachers’ Training College, a premier college of education, is located in South Mumbai. The college was established in April 1969 as a grant-in aid, linguistic (Sindhi) minority institution by the Hyderabad (Sindh) National Collegiate Board.
It is an English medium, co-educational institute and is a constituent college of the HSNC University, Mumbai.
The college offers teacher preparation programmes for various levels ranging from Early Childhood Education Programme, the Diploma in Elementary Education and the Bachelor of Education Programmes. It is also a centre for Doctor of Philosophy (Education).
At Bombay Teachers’ Training College we believe that supervised field experiences are at the heart of our teacher education programmes. Organising enriching experiences and engaging with real-life scenarios is the best way to prepare teachers for today’s demanding environments. Field observation in institutional contexts and supervised classroom experiences give a clear edge to the beginning teacher.
At BTTC we believe that every teacher candidate is a unique individual and needs opportunities to both develop and express their individual talents and teacher identity. Each teacher has their own strengths and unique voice which has the potential to touch the lives of the students that they teach. Our teacher education curriculum strives to keep the individual in mind.
Diverse learning opportunities focus on developing the practical skills and the multiple facets of the teachers personality. Co-curricular activities are given as much importance as curricular activities, contributing to skill development. Students are given opportunities to develop generic life skills as well as hone specific skills related to their professional practice as teachers.
Students and alumni of BTTC can leverage on the strong networking links of the college with other sister institutions of the H(S)NC Board which runs 25 educational institutions across Mumbai. The Bombay Teachers’ Training college is a constituent college of the HSNC University Mumbai which offers a wide variety of advanced learning opportunities in the form of certificate courses and educational programmes at the post-graduate level.
