Target group:
Many mathematics teachers are not adequately qualified to teach mathematics. Because of this situation, students do not get an ideal exposure to the natural sciences and this discourages them from pursuing further studies in this field. There is an urgent need for a course to enable teachers to upgrade their qualifications in the field of mathematics.
Admission requirements:
Senior Certificate with a minimum of 50% for mathematics as well as a teaching qualification. Students without a formal qualification in teaching will be considered on the basis of other appropriate experience (RPL).
Registration periods:
01 December until 28 February
