Overview

About the prgoram

The Foundation Phase and Childhood Education program is offered by University of Johannesburg.

The School-based teacher education programme offered online is an extension of the UJ Foundation Phase teacher education model, which incorporates a teaching school. The programme works in partnership with selected schools and/or bursary programmes. It operates as a hybrid between a teaching school and a professional practice school, as described in the Strategic Planning Framework for Teacher Education and Development in South Africa 2011–2021 (Departments of Basic Education and Higher Education and Training [DBE & DHET] 2011). The coursework for students enrolled in this programme is offered online with academic support from lecturers and peer tutors.

This school-based teacher education programme enables the Faculty of Education to respond to the increasing number of schools and/or bursary programmes that offer full time teaching internships to students with the expectation that they enrol for a teaching degree through an accredited service provider.
