Education Degree Structure

The Faculty of Education has dynamically positioned itself at the forefront of education transformation in the country. This is not a place for the faint-hearted and demands 'sinesibindi' (literally in isiXhosa that we have a liver, but figuratively meaning that we must have courage)! The phrase ‘caring quality’ accurately sums up the reputation that the Faculty has gained for its commitment to students and to work in the education field. The Faculty concerns itself with education in the broadest sense, including the professional preparation of teachers, further in-service qualifications, as well as non-formal education. While operating predominantly in the Eastern Cape, the Faculty also serves the country and the SADC region. Apart from teaching and supervision, it is deeply involved in research, national policy development, and professional and community work.

The Faculty is centred around the Department of Education, which works in close partnership with 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 (Centre for Higher Education Research Teaching & Learning), RUMEP (Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 Mathematics Education Project), the CSD (Centre for Social Development), and the ISEA (Institute for the Study of Englishes in Africa). The Faculty offers a range of qualifications in education, ranging from undergraduate Bachelor of Education degrees to doctoral degree.
