Bachelor of Education (Educational Administration) with Honours

Programme Synopsis

One way to upgrade the academic and management standards of the primary schools is through upgrading of the academic qualifications of the administrators, namely the Headmasters, Senior Assistants and Supervisors. Some of the existing primary-school teachers obtained their degrees from local universities through distant education, while most of the administrative staff are non-graduates. The situation could lead to administrative and psychological problems that may impinge the administration of these schools. The situation becomes worse when some of the primary-school teachers are given the chance to peruse their studies for degree programs at OUM with the cooperation of the Ministry of Education. This program has been tailor-designed for primary school administrators to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to administer the schools.
