The Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase and FET Teaching (Creative Arts English) at Walter Sisulu University is a four-year professional teaching degree that trains educators to teach the Creative Arts learning area with an English language and literary focus within Grades 7 to 12. Located at the Mthatha campus, the programme combines subject content knowledge in English and the performing or visual arts with pedagogical theory and practical school-based experience. It responds to South Africa's critical need for qualified Creative Arts teachers, particularly in the Eastern Cape, where artistic and cultural education remains underprioritised.
