Historique
The Teachers Training Institute, later Tangoa Training Institute, was located on Tangoa, a small island off the coast of Santo, Vanuatu. Established by the Presbyterian church mission to the New Hebrides, it was established by synod in 1887 and officially opened in March 1895. It's first principal was missionary Reverend Joseph Annand from Canada, followed by Reverend Frederick G Bowie, who was principal until his death in 1933. At the institution, young men and, later, women from different islands in Vanuatu were trained in the Bible and taught technical skills, which, in the early decades at least, largely involved plantation work for the mission.
