 Key Features of the Program

The main aim of this program is to prepare teachers, teacher educators, material developers, researchers in the field of mathematics education. Specifically, the prospective teachers will be able to:

  • follow the latest principles and methodology in mathematics teaching
  • undertake small-scale research to improve their own pedagogical skill
  • design and deliver a short-term teacher development packages for mathematics teachers
  • develop appropriate mathematics curricula, textbooks, modules, and projected and non-projected materials.
  • educate preservice and in-service teachers for effective teaching of mathematics
  • carry out several activities to promote the importance of mathematics education
