The Technical Teachers Training Programme (TTTP), organised by the Federal Ministry of Education, is a well-planned initiative to enhance Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) across Nigeria.

The goal? To train teachers in Science, Mathematics, Technical, and Vocational Education so they can confidently pass on industry-relevant skills to students, skills that matter in today’s job market
