Details

The BEd Senior Phase and Further Education and Training (Science Stream) at Nelson Mandela University is a four-year degree that produces teachers specialising in science subjects for Grades 7 to 12. Students choose FET specialisations from Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Geography, and Mathematics (or Mathematical Literacy if not combined with Physical Sciences), along with an SP specialisation in Mathematics or Natural Sciences. South Africa faces a critical shortage of qualified mathematics and science teachers in secondary schools, making this qualification essential for improving educational outcomes in STEM subjects.
