Atibal Singh Teachers Training College

We are located in Chandhash, which is part of the Allahabad area. This college is where people come when they want to become teachers themselves. It’s a practical place. We have classrooms and some space for the students to gather between their sessions. It isn't a very busy part of town, so it stays fairly quiet for studying, which is helpful. The building is solid, though it looks a bit plain from the outside and the walls are a dull color. Inside, we have desks and boards. We follow the rules for training and make sure the students know what they need to do in a real classroom. It’s a lot of work for them and for us too. We see people from all over the district coming here. Some commute a long way every morning on buses or motorbikes. The atmosphere is just people trying to get their degrees and find a job in a school somewhere eventually. We don't have any flashy stuff or high-tech labs. It's mostly lectures and notes and talking about how to handle kids in class. Sometimes we have tea in the break and talk about the local news. The staff here has been around for a while. We know the routines. The paperwork takes up a lot of time, but that’s part of the state system. We try to keep the library organized, even if the books are a bit older. It serves the purpose for what we need. People come here because it’s local and they know what to expect.
