The Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase Teaching at Wits prepares teachers for Grades R to 3, developing specialists in early childhood literacy, numeracy, and holistic child development. The four-year programme combines content knowledge, pedagogy, and practical school-based experience, grounding students in evidence-based approaches to teaching young learners in South Africa's diverse social and linguistic context. Foundation Phase teaching is critical to South Africa's educational outcomes — research consistently shows that strong early literacy and numeracy is the single most important predictor of long-term academic success. Wits School of Education graduates are sought after by both public and independent schools across Gauteng and beyond.
