The Teachers Training Institute, later known as the Tangoa Training Institute, on Tangoa island was established by the Presbyterian Mission to the New Hebrides (Vanuatu) in the late 1880s and officially opened 1895. It was established as a training centre for young men, and later women too, from different islands in Vanuatu to learn the bible and other technical skills, with the idea that they would be trained as 'teachers' who worked for the church locally. The institution was generally known by its initials, TTI, which apparently led to some confusion as to what the letters stood for. Tangoa is a small island off the south coast of Espiritu Santo, not to be confused with Tongoa (Shepherd Group) in the central part of Vanuatu.
