In 1957, the courses were transformed into General B-II and Special B-II. The first one specialized in languages, while the second one included the classes of chemical and natural sciences, economics, as well as other fields of science.
After several reincarnations, in 1964, the classes were reorganized into five faculties, exploring pedagogy, social education sciences, languages, technical sciences, and engineering under the Institute of Teacher Training and Education control.
