Overview
Katagu Lutheran Teachers College (KLTC) is a Christ-centered teacher-training institution in Lower Benna Rural LLG, Unggai-Bena District, Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea. Its About page describes an 11-hectare campus on the former Interface New Tribe Mission property, approximately 20 minutes from Goroka. The college’s stated mission is to prepare spiritually grounded, academically proficient and socially responsible teachers. Published programs include the three-year Diploma in Primary Teaching and four-year Bachelor of Education (Primary), alongside professional and refresher workshops for teachers. The curriculum combines theoretical study with field-based teaching experience; the Programs page names St Don Bosco Namaro and Katagu Primary as demonstration schools. Student activities include chapel services, Bible study and community or mission outreach. The college reports working with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea and the National Department of Education. Its undated pages disagree about accreditation: Programs claims accredited qualifications recognized under DHERST, while About says the college is progressing toward full accreditation. Full accreditation is therefore not established by the supplied evidence.
