History

[edit]

The establishment of the Technical Teachers Training College (TTTC) dates back to 1960 as the teachers’ wing of the Dhaka Polytechnic Institute. It underwent rapid growth and development and in 1964 emerged as a separate college called the Technical Education College (TEC). In 1967 the college was renamed the Technical Teachers Training College.

In 1981, with the opening of a separate Engineering College (Presently Dhaka University of Engineering) on the campus of TTTC it suffered a break in its activities. TTTC was reborn in 1986 with renewed philosophy and naturally with activities in tune with modern trends in the arena of training technical teachers internationally. TTTC owes it's growth and development since its rebirth mostly to the technical assistance provided by ODA (UK). It is under the Directorate of Technical Education of the Ministry of Education.[3]
