About the Faculty of Education

The Faculty comprises four academic units serving both undergraduate and graduate students. Faculty members not only teach within their respective disciplines but participate in a wide diversity of basic and applied research projects locally, nationally and internationally. Our research initiatives inform our teacher training programs ensuring that graduates enter the classroom as teachers with current, relevant, and optimized professional skill-sets.
