Jimma Teachers' College (JTC) is located some 347 km southwest of Addis Ababa and about 2.5 km to the northeast of Jimma City Centre. JTC is one of several regional Teachers’ Training Colleges in Ethiopia established specifically to produce qualified teachers for primary schools (grades 1-8). In accordance with the 1994 National Education and Training Policy, JTC was upgraded from a Teachers’ Training Institute (TTI) as it had been for 28 years (1961-1988 E.C.) and, as a college, launched its first two-year Training Program (Diploma Program) in July 1988 E.C. during the summer semester.
It goes without saying that such an important educational change-over as the inauguration of JTC, which took place after nearly three decades after the institution’s inception as a TTI, caused a certain excitement as well as some anxiety amongst those who were closely affiliated to the college. The transformation required great imagination and better physical resources and, although JTC still has a long way to go before it becomes a fully-grown institution of higher education, it has made a good start towards meeting the growing regional demand for qualified primary school teachers.

  • Asrat Kassahun I graduated from Jimma Teachers Training Collage in physics in 1996 G.C. It is exactly at the time of JTC upgrade from TTI. My first launch at the collage was in open-air as the cafe was on maintenance. JTC is a collage where I learned a lot of things especially Mathematics.
