About the Programme

The MEd (ETS) programme will enable students with a Bachelor of Education (BEd), Bachelor of Arts with Education (BAEd) or Bachelor of Science with Education (BScEd) from this university to undertake further studies within the same training institution and also from other institutions in Zimbabwe, Africa and the world beyond.
This programme will be a source of staff development for trained teachers (in-service training) for the staff from the Ministry of Education and other related ministries. The block release programme will enable school teachers in Zimbabwe and other African countries to access in-service training without unnecessary disruption to their teaching programmes.
It is becoming apparent that developing countries need to update themselves in the area of Educational Technology in order to be competitive in this modern age of technology. Educational Technology has a crucial role to play in equipping the children of today with the relevant skills and knowledge in the area of technology. This calls for the need to train teachers to impart knowledge and skill to students. Unfortunately, teachers with such skill and knowledge constitute a scarce commodity in Africa.
