In the 1950’s, right after the physical revolution, the junior high school and senior high school were developed rapidly, and it required a high number of qualified teachers. Government, especially the Ministry of Education, carried out numerous efforts in order to fulfill the requirement. One of the efforts was to open educational institution, such as institution for junior high school teach...ers and a program called Kursus B-I to educate teacher candidate, especially teacher for junior and senior high school. Even with those efforts, the government was still struggling with low number of qualified teachers.
Based on this situation, in the 1956 several education practitioner in North Sumatera decided to start a new Teacher Education Institute (Perguruan Tinggi Pendidikan Guru or PTPG). This idea was brought by Prof. Ani Abbas Manopo, S.H., (dean of Law and Society Knowledge Faculty in North Sumatera University), G. Sianipar (Division Head of Society Education Inspection) and R.M. Simanjuntak (Headmaster of Medan Public High School 1 or SMA Negeri 1).
The PTPG was opened for English, Pedagogy, Society Knowledge (later known as Civic) and Health Education Majors. The PTPG was not last for a long time. It was became part of North Sumatera University based on the Indonesia Republic Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation No. 95254 at August 22, 1957 and then named as The Faculty of Teacher Training and Pedagogy (Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan or FKIP).
