In 1950, the Teachers’ Training College was established to address the acute shortage of teachers after the war. Housed in the old premises of Anglo-Chinese School at Cairnhill Road, its role was to centralise teacher training and meet the demand
for locally trained teachers. The curriculum comprised studies in education theories and psychology, language, civics as well as art, music and physical education.
