What Our Allumni Say
Migori Teachers Training College seemed to be the new chapter opened in my life as a whole person. It was not only a center of academic excellence to me, but also had fantastic incredible cultural varieties, I think it was the best place to develop different talents. Besides academic achievements, some of my fondest memories are the people I spent time with. Despite being of different religions and cultures, that did not hinder us from making friend and being there for each other at all times. I certainly made some friends for life time
I used to hear of Migori ttc. in my early school life and truly I have found it a good place to be. The college has moulded great teachers who can succeed in the 21st century & be emulated by learners. Indeed, the rich learning environment and hardworking lectures has made me a holistic individual with competencies, values, knowledge & skills necessary to thrive in a highly competitive world.
