St.
Teresa’s Women’s Teachers’ Training Institute came to birth on 21-06-1954 on
the feast of St. Gonsalves the patron of youth. In those days there were many
young widows leading a miserable life. Mother Marie Rene along with Sr.
Dominique decided to do something to empower these young widows. Thus to uplift
these struggling women Mother Marie Rene
started St. Teresa’s Women’s Teachers’ Training Institute in St. Mary’s Convent
campus, Chamarajpet. Another noble ideal behind the establishment was to train
the untrained teachers.
To
cater to working women’s needs, initially it was an evening course, later it became
a full-fledged one year course and then the department made it a two year
course.
St.
Teresa’s Women’s Teachers’ Training Institute is one of the oldest T.T.Is.
churning out competent teachers over 65 years of its existence. It is at
present one of the best T.T.Is imparting quality education. We take pride in
the fact that no compromise is made in executing the details of the syllabus. Our
teacher-trainees are appointed even before completion of the course.
