Faculty of Education - Nelson Mandela University

The Faculty of Education is an important role player in initial teacher education and in the further development of practising teachers, particularly in the context of meeting the educational needs and addressing the priorities of education in the Eastern Cape.

The key aim of the Faculty’s pre-service teacher education is to develop student teachers who teach effectively in order to facilitate learning in schools.

The Faculty also places a strong emphasis on in-service teacher education, offering a range of programmes to build capacity, equip teachers in priority areas and upgrade the qualifications of under-qualified teachers.
