Introduction
The present realities of education as a vehicle for sustainable development require a new approach to educating professionals who are reflective, articulate, resourceful, creative and goal-oriented. This is so as the education of the twenty first century and beyond must be functional and relevant to global needs, challenges and changes.
The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) is a 39/42 credit programme that seeks to empower participants for professional practice and responsible leadership through a rich, varied and dynamic curriculum and provide a higher degree programme that will enable them to engage in continued research activities that contribute to sustainable development.
The programme is for all qualified persons who provide training in the fields of education, business, health and other private/public sectors. The MAT is designed to certify candidates in one of three programme areas; Primary Education, Secondary Education and Adult Education. The course work integrates content and pedagogy with a strong emphasis on essential teaching competencies.
