Transform lives with your Mathematics teaching capability

Faculty of Education Mathematics

The Mathematics Education (ME) study program provides undergraduates to become high quality 21st century mathematics teachers who are able to use English as the medium of instruction and to integrate technology to enhance mathematics teaching and learning. This program also equips students with profound mathematical knowledge and skills to enable them to teach mathematics at all levels of the basic and secondary education system. Students have the opportunity to develop their understanding on learners and learning necessary for designing and implementing meaningful mathematics teaching and learning. They are exposed to diverse mathematics curriculums and teaching experiences in several schools in order to be enriched and critical, and get ready in various real class situations.

Students will be trained as reflective practitioners to become lifelong learners. The program is also designed to facilitate aspiring teachers in excelling their leadership to become visionary teacher leaders in schools and society. They are provided by the learning environment that promotes not only integrity, creativity, and critical thinking skills, but also collaborative and entrepreneurship skills necessary for participating in a global community.
