Rhodes University Education Department

The Education Faculty is in an exciting phase of expansion and growth. Established in 1913, the Rhodes University Education Department, offered an initial teacher education qualification for students wishing to teach in secondary schools. One hundred and two years later, the academic endeavour has expanded and diversified, with the Education Department forming the core of an Education Faculty which offers a range of qualifications within and across four broad education sectors, namely higher education, formal schooling, early childhood education and education and training development.
The Education Faculty consists of:
the Education Department (the core of the Faculty) in which the Environmental Learning and Research Centre (ELRC) and Murray and Roberts Chair of Environmental Education, the Professional Development Centre (PDC), the SA Numeracy Chair, and the DHET/EU Foundation Phase Research Project are located.
the Centre for Higher Education Research, Teaching and Learning (CHERTL)
the Rhodes University Mathematics Education Project(RUMEP)
the Institute for the Study of English in Africa (ISEA)
the Centre for Social Development (CSD)
