The History of Kibabii Teacher Training College in Kibabii dates back to the preindependence period. The idea was initiated by the Mill Hill Fathers in 1932. This college trained P4 Teachers between 1932 and 1942 and P3 between 1958 and 1961 in the current St. Mary’s High School, Kibabii. In
1962 however, the College was moved to Eregi.
The proposed Kibabii Teachers Training College in Bungoma South District remained a mirage for more than
twenty years until 19th September, 2007, when the process of actualizing this dream was initiated. The 3rd president of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency President Mwai Kibaki graced the ground breaking ceremony at the proposed site. The construction works at the College were immediately commenced with the completion of construction and operationalization date for the college set for the 25th of May 2011. During this period, the project employed 700 workers thus contributing to employment creation in Bungoma County.
