The Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase Teaching at the University of Zululand is a four-year degree that prepares students to teach Grade R to Grade 3 learners in South Africa's multilingual, multicultural schooling system. The programme emphasises IsiZulu-medium and multilingual literacy and numeracy instruction — critically important in KwaZulu-Natal where most learners are IsiZulu home language speakers. Graduates develop pedagogical competencies, subject content knowledge, and classroom management skills aligned with the CAPS curriculum, contributing directly to improving South Africa's early literacy and numeracy outcomes.
