Welcome Message
Education is one of the core academic fields supporting the African Renaissance. To make sure that our country continues to develop and provide a better standard of living for everyone, we need a well-educated populace. Since 1994, enormous changes in educational policies, as well as practices, have occurred. These changes attempt to provide a responsive and relevant education system for South Africa. The School of Education is deeply committed to this ambitious Education Project and sets out “to make a difference.”
Vision
To be a leading African centre of excellence that produces highly skilled and competent educators of an international standard in a rural setting.
Mission
The School of Education is primarily committed to rural regeneration, empowerment and development, through a life-long approach to teaching and inter-disciplinary research.
The School of Education is one of three schools in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Limpopo’s Turfloop Campus. Its vision is ‘to be a leading African Centre of excellence that produces highly skilled and competent educators of international standard in a rural setting’. The School is primarily committed to rural regeneration, empowerment, and development through lifelong learning approach to learning and interdisciplinary research in a caring environment.
The vision and mission of the School stem out of the rural reality of the Province of Limpopo in which the University and the School are situated. From where it is situated though the School of Education serves the whole of South Africa and in particular the two rural provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
Through our programmes, and especially through Teaching Practice, we want our students to engage this rural reality in very creative and critical ways. Our students must become the masters rather than the slaves of this rural reality.
The diagram below gives a pictorial representation of the vision of the School and the egg metaphor. In particular it highlights the transformational context within which the four pillars of our vision interact.
The School is committed to a core set of values that are reflected in a culture that promotes the development of personal and professional integrity and engagement for the benefit of our society. We subscribe to the values of the university, namely:
Accountability Communication
Inclusion Integrity
Respect Teamwork
Responsiveness Receptivity
