国产传媒 THE SCHOOL
The School of Education is a founding faculty of Njala University, and for over fifty years, its mandate continues to be to provide specialization through degrees, diplomas and certificates for teachers in all the school disciplines at all levels of the educational system. The School also ensures that staff and students become interested in new paradigms of teaching and in educational research. The School is presently located at Towama, Bo Campus, but lectures are conducted in the campuses of the University: Bo and Njala and Freetown location.
The School of Education offers both NCTVA programmes and university programmes. NCTVA programmes include: Teachers鈥 Certificate, Higher Teachers Certificate Primary and Higher Teachers Certificate Secondary. The School is famous for its robust post graduate programmes and many of its graduates include most of the principals and senior administrators of educational institutions and agencies in Sierra Leone.
As a result of the present low enrolment of students especially in the Sciences, languages and Creative Practical Arts programmes, the departments and institutes are now embarking on programmes and strategies to increase access, improve the quality of education and to meet the needs of today鈥檚 workforce. These include: the introduction of new programmes and the inception of the distance education mode of learning in the Southern region of Sierra Leone which runs programmes at the T.C, HTC (P), HTC (S), B.Ed. specializing in the school subjects and the Post Graduate Diploma in Education.
