About NTTI
The pioneer of private teacher training in Bangladesh.
Our Heritage (নির্দেশিকা)
Education is the backbone of a nation and the foundation of its development, and teachers are its architects. In the early 90s, the number of teachers endowed with the desired qualities was vastly insufficient compared to the need at the secondary level.
Driven by the urgent inspiration to fill this void, the National Teachers' Training Institute (NTTI) was established in 1995. It stands as the very first private initiative in Bangladesh established with the approval of the National University and recognition from the Ministry of Education.
Although a private institute, NTTI provides B.Ed degrees through the National University on par with various government teacher training colleges. Trainees from our institute have seamlessly secured their government pay scales in the past without any difficulties, and they will continue to do so securely in the future.
A Legacy of Excellence
"Since 1996, NTTI has consistently nurtured educators who have gone on to shape the future of our nation. Our trainees have proudly secured top positions in the National Merit Board, reflecting our unwavering commitment to quality training and academic brilliance."
