The BEd in Foundation Phase Education at Stellenbosch University prepares teachers to work with learners from Grade R through to Grade 3 — the years in which children develop foundational literacy, numeracy, and life skills that shape all subsequent learning. The programme is offered in Afrikaans, English, and isiXhosa pathways and includes substantial teaching practice in South African schools. With the Foundation Phase identified as the most critical intervention point in South Africa's education system, qualified Foundation Phase teachers are among the country's most needed professionals.
