The Bachelor of Education in Senior and FET Phase with specialisation in Agriculture at the University of Fort Hare prepares teachers to educate Grades 7 to 12 learners in Agricultural Sciences, Life Sciences, and related subjects. UFH is deeply rooted in the Eastern Cape's rural and agricultural heritage, making it an ideal institution for training teachers who understand the realities of South African farming communities.
