The development of keen awareness in primary school educators of the need for the development of skills and values that are sensitive to sustainable development and continual educational improvement.

Orientation:

Creating primary school educators who can apply current pedagogic thinking in their educational practice to facilitate creativity and innovation among learners.

In their 1st Semester, students will be introduced to the University Innovation Hub where they will receive talks and participate in discussions on how to develop simple ideas into productive and innovative ventures.

In their 2nd and 3rd Semesters, the students will be required to take turns to visit and work in the University Industrial Park to get a feel of productive activities and industrial work and appreciate the philosophy of industrialisation.

Students are expected to use this exposure to initiate productive ventures in their schools of practice with school pupils, fellow teachers, and where possible, with the communities around the school, culminating in school-based innovation hubs and industrial parks.
