The Federal Ministry of Education has announced the commencement of the 2025/2026 Technical Teachers Training Programme (TTTP), a tuition-free one-year Post-Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) aimed at upgrading the skills of secondary school teachers handling technical and vocational subjects across Nigeria.
The initiative, unveiled through the ministry’s Department of Technology and Science Education in Abuja, is part of the government’s renewed commitment to strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in the country.
According to the ministry, the programme seeks to “re-energise TVET” by equipping teachers with modern pedagogical skills and aligning their knowledge with contemporary industry standards.
The TTTP application portal will open on 8 July 2025 and close on 21 July 2025, the ministry stated.
Eligible participants include teachers currently teaching technical or vocational subjects in public secondary technical schools or colleges, with at least five years of service left before retirement.
The programme is expected to improve the quality of teaching in technical fields, better preparing students for 21st-century industry needs and ensuring Nigeria’s workforce remains competitive globally.
The PGDE will cover fields such as Technical Education, Vocational Education, Building Technology Education, Business Education, Home Economics & Hospitality, Agricultural Education, Automobile, Computer Science Education, and Electrical/Electronics, among others.
The pilot cohort will be implemented in partnership with six universities: Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; Federal University of Technology, Minna; University of Benin; Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi; and Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo.
To apply, the Ministry advised interested teachers to visit the Federal Ministry of Education’s official website at education.gov.ng, navigate to the TTTP link, or access the form directly via https://forms.gle/wWFMxcdquehz9Fjx7.
The Ministry stressed that multiple submissions would lead to disqualification.
