BACKGROUND
Butimba Teachers’ College was established by the British colonial government at Bwiru suburb in Mwanza town to accomplish its goal of preparing teachers who could provide services in the educational sector in the lake zone regions. It was officially opened on July 8th, 1939 by Sir Mark Young, the then British Governor of Tanganyika protectorate. In 1948, it was shifted from Bwiru to Pasiansi suburb on temporary terms. In 1949, a permanent settlement was prepared at the Butimba peninsular where the buildings were completed in 1952.


From its inception up to 1964, the college was headed by British Principals. From the same year 1964 onwards, the college was headed by Tanzanian principals. For example, Mr. Curtly was the first principal of this college, who headed it, for the whole of the founding year of 1939 while Mr. P.G. King’ori was the first Tanzanian principal who headed it for about three years from 1964 to 1967. The current principal is Mr. John Ole Meiludie whose term began in 2012.
