Key facts

In 1970, the structure of the Faculty comprised five divisions. However, because of new developments and paradigm shifts in the educational system, the Faculty had a series of restructuring and reorganisation exercises to enable the Faculty to realise its vision and objectives. The latest organisational restructuring was carried out in 2001 resulting in the formation of the following departments; Department of Educational Foundations and Humanities, Department of Educational Psychology and Counselling, Department of Educational Management, Planning and Policy, Department of Language and Literacy Education, Department of Mathematics and Science Education, Department of Curriculum and Instructional Technology, and the Institute of Educational Leadership. In the year 2020, the Institute of Educational Leadership was reintegrated into the Department of Educational Management, Planning and Policy.
