Programme Philosophy
The programme is designed to produce trained and qualified teachers who have adequate subject matter knowledge and can employ critical and reflective thinking in their analysis of educational issues in general, and curricular and pedagogical issues relating to business education in particular. Gain extensive professional experience at schools throughout this three-year program, with internship placements commencing in the second year. These begin with observing and interacting with small groups of primary school students, and later expand to include patterns of classroom interaction, teacher-developed curriculum materials and whole-school activities. When you undertake professional experience in the third year, you will be fully competent to teach.
