Initial Primary Teacher Education (IPTE) 17 students from Machinga Teachers Training College (TTC) has expressed worries over the closure of their institute.

According to the students, the closing of the school is affecting the preparations for their examinations scheduled for March.

President of the students, Vanessa Manjomo said 90 percent of the 500 students have received their allowances.

Vanessa said despite the ministry of education being informed about the issue, but the government is yet to reopen the facility.
