IN a joint letter to Northern Marianas Technical Institute board chairman Mario Valentino, minority bloc Sens. Paul Manglona and Edith Deleon Guerrero urged NMTI to resume operations for the sake of its students.
âIt is with great disappointment we write to you regarding the current discontinuation of the [NMTI] operations. With the closure of NMTI, approximately 100 students are being affected, not accounting for the additional 120 students that are on the waiting list for the next âmoduleâ cycle,â the senators wrote.
Of the current NMTI students, 30 are pursuing their high school diploma equivalent in trade and vocational certifications, such as the National Center for Construction Education and Research, or NCCER, certification.
