Helping educators develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to support learners of different abilities.
ITCIG-SENTTI is a co-educational, non-boarding teacher training institution based in Bamenda, Cameroon. Through its social enterprise approach, the institution works to improve access to quality education and promote inclusive teaching practices.
Our educational work includes initial teacher training, professional learning in inclusive and special education, and opportunities to strengthen understanding of diverse learning needs.
We believe education should create opportunities rather than barriers. Therefore, our work brings together teacher development, practical learning and community engagement to support a more inclusive future.
Our mission is to advance inclusive education by strengthening teaching practices, promoting equal opportunities and helping educational communities respond to different learning needs.
We advocate for learning opportunities that recognise individual differences and reduce unnecessary barriers to participation.
We encourage thoughtful, practical teaching methods that help educators respond to varied abilities and classroom needs.
We promote awareness, acceptance and respect for people with disabilities and others facing educational disadvantage.
We value cooperation between educators, families, professionals and community stakeholders to encourage inclusive development.
ITCIG-SENTTI brings together different educational pathways, from initial teacher preparation to specialist professional learning. Its wider structure also includes school-based educational provision in Bamenda.
The Initial Teacher Training College prepares teachers for nursery, primary and junior secondary education. It also introduces inclusive education principles to support teaching in diverse classrooms.
Professional training pathways include the Cameroon Inclusive Special Education Teacher Training and Empowerment Programme (CISETTEP) and the SENTTI Inclusive Bilingual Evening School (SENTTI-IBES). These pathways support further learning for teachers and other professionals.
The institution's wider educational structure includes an inclusive nursery and primary school in Small Mankon, Bamenda. This reflects its commitment to connecting educational principles with the everyday needs of learners.
Our educational work is supported by people with experience in teaching, institutional leadership and professional recruitment. Meet three members of the team contributing to ITCIG-SENTTI's development.
