The Federal Ministry of Education has announced the commencement of the 2025/2026 Technical Teachers Training Programme (TTTP), a tuition-free one-year Post-Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) aimed at upgrading the skills of secondary school teachers handling technical and vocational subjects across Nigeria.
The initiative, unveiled through the ministry’s Department of Technology and Science Education in Abuja, is part of the government’s renewed commitment to strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in the country.
According to the ministry, the programme seeks to “re-energise TVET” by equipping teachers with modern pedagogical skills and aligning their knowledge with contemporary industry standards.
The TTTP application portal will open on 8 July 2025 and close on 21 July 2025, the ministry stated.
Eligible participants include teachers currently teaching technical or vocational subjects in public secondary technical schools or colleges, with at least five years of service left before retirement.
