Undergraduate
Bachelor of Education (Foundation Phase) – Pre-Service
Teachers in Grades R to 3 lay the foundation for quality education. They nurture every aspect of the development of children’s capabilities. Dedicated
and competent Foundation Phase teachers are therefore the key to a successful education system. In the programme, you will be exposed to opportunities to engage critically with the world around you. Our graduates emerge with a solid foundation for stepping into a primary classroom
prepared with creative, engaging and meaningful practices and resources.
Bachelor of Education (Foundation Phase) – In-Service
The Centre for Social Development (https://www.ru.ac.za/csd/) envisions vibrant communities that take responsibility for the early childhood developmental needs of their children as a foundation for achieving human potential. The CSD facilitates the development of early childhood communities and imparts skills to teachers and practitioners to strengthen community owned initiatives. Our practice is based on caring professionalism that builds relationships which affirm and support the ability of people to arrive at their own solutions. We do this through strategic partnerships and, a number of community-based early childhood education initiatives, and teacher development qualifications such as the Bachelor of Education in-service degree program, Advanced Certificate programme, and most recently – the Coaching Course.
