IPG Kampus Pulau Pinang

 

In 1952, British built two colleges in Malaya. One of them was in Kota Bharu,Kelantan, which was called Kota Bharu Teachers’ College. One more was located in Penang, which was called Penang Teachers’ Training College. Then, Kota Bharu Teachers’ Training College was closed and the student teachers moved to Penang. Later, it became known as Maktab Perguruan Persekutuan Pulau Pinang (MPPPP). Now, it has become Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Pulau Pinang (IPGKPP).

            IPGKPP is located at Combee Hills, in a beautiful valley and it is surrounded by big and tall trees as old as over a hundred years. It is near Georgetown and easy access to the banks, shops, mosques, temples and churches. They are all in walking distance only from IPGKPP. IPGKPP is also a stone’s throw away from Penang Lotus and Udini Mall.

            There are ample of facilities in our campus and there is no lack of facilities for the student teachers. There are big and spacious classrooms, equipped with air-conditioners, study tables and comfortable chairs. The library is always packed with hardcopies of books, as well as the latest digital ones. Finger-licking good food at affordable prices can be obtained at the cafe. Meanwhile, there is a big football field, which is used for intercollege matches.

            Here, we can meet special and interesting people. There are friendly, helpful and comforting lecturers while the seniors are supportive and respectful. Not only that, we can socialise with trustworthy, reliable and fun-filled people.

            My promotion would definitely encourage all of you to come here to further your studies. We would also like to welcome you here to create memorable experiences and cherish every moment in IPGKPP together. Come and join us!
