The Faculty of Education
Welcome Note
I most heartily welcome you to the Faculty of Education. The Faculty of Education focuses on producing competent and effective teachers who will in turn provide mentorship and inspiration to the youths of the nation so that they can be self-sufficient and contribute meaningfully to the development of the nation. In the faculty, we emphasize the study and practice of teaching. The faculty ensures that students are taught theories and methods of teaching by adopting modern curriculum design. A very important component of the faculty’s function is to provide students with practical experience in the classroom with an emphasis on modern instructional approaches utilizing new technologies in the process. The students also gain industrial experience through a well-supervised Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme programme (SIWES) so that they can be self-employed, employ others and create weal.
