BISHOP MAHON TTC LOCATION

Bishop Mahon Teachers Training College is a Public College located at Lodwar in Turkana County of the North Eastern Region of Kenya.

Twenty-eight years ago, catholic Diocese of lodwars first bishop the late Rt. Reverend Bishop John Mahon had a dream of building teacher’s training college (TTC) in the region.

This, he planned to do with support of the Norwegian government. However, the plan did not take off after the National Government declined to register the institution in 1992.

According to Fr. Desmond Miller, a priest at the catholic Diocese of Lodwar, the ministry of education could not register a day teacher training college. The institution was then turned into a resource center until 2020 when it was registered to aperate as a full TTC.

Fr Areman said Bishop Mahon Teacher’s training was registered on January 10,2020. It received its first principal in October 2020 and seven tutors from the TSC.
