I am not sure how you define monotechnic, but we did convert a few technical institutes into a national university in our country. Whilst it took a while to get used to the upgrade, after a couple years these campuses were able to be fully recognized as Universities. Here's a link to studies in RG using the term "teacher education colleges":

Hi Thomas"
The following two articles may be of some assistance to you. For your convenience I added the ABSTRACTS from each of them. I hope that this is of some assistance to you. Good Luck in your research!
The first one:
“An Analysis of Globalization and Higher Education in Malaysia”
ABSTRACT:
This study aims to examine the impact of globalization on private higher education in Malaysia.

The second one:
"Releasing the pedagogical power of information and communication technology for learners: A case study"
ABSTRACT:
There is currently much debate around how best to incorporate Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into teacher education programs (Karsenti, 2001; Snider, 2002; Bain, 2004). Rapid advances in ICTs demand changes to our education systems. Computer technology has been absorbed into our schools but in many instances teachers simply deliver old lessons in a new format, and rarely fully capitalise on this technology in their practice. This article explores two issues, firstly, what are the barriers to educators embracing the new technologies, and secondly, what role do teacher education programs play in breaking down the barriers. In discussing these issues, initiatives being undertaken in Queensland are highlighted
