The Bachelor of Education in Intermediate Phase Teaching with a specialisation in Languages, Mathematics, Natural Science and Technology at Sol Plaatje University trains graduates to teach Grades 4 to 6 in South Africa's public schooling system. The programme addresses the critical shortage of qualified Mathematics and Natural Sciences teachers in the intermediate phase, a stage where foundational subject knowledge either takes root or is lost. Students develop subject content knowledge, pedagogical skill, and classroom management competencies aligned with the CAPS curriculum, with particular sensitivity to the multilingual classrooms of the Northern Cape.
