The college advised all Level 400 students to remain in their assigned schools for the School-Based Support Teaching (STS) program. They emphasized that staying in these schools is in the students’ best interest and will ensure that the internship program is completed smoothly despite the challenges posed by the CETAG strike.
This clarification comes as many teacher trainees expressed confusion about whether to follow TTAG’s directive or continue their internship. The college’s management believes that staying in the partner schools will help maintain the progress of their training while the issues leading to the strike are resolved.
