The Faculty of Education is housed on the beautiful and self-contained Groenkloof Campus of the University of Pretoria. This Faculty has the widest range of programmes for any student who intends to embark on education studies. In the past four years, each of these programmes has been internationally benchmarked and draws growing numbers of students from countries across the globe.

The School for Teacher Training prepares pre-service students for teaching, using the new national curriculum, from Grade 1 through Grade 12 with specializations in mathematics, science and technology education; early childhood education; language education; art, drama and music education; human movement studies education; history and geography education; and many more. In this School, students are actively encouraged to participate in a wide range of cultural, physical and social activities (including music, sport and dramatic performances) that ensure a much broader education than what is offered in the lecture halls and laboratories.

The School of Educational Studies prepares education and training professionals who come from pre-primary, primary and high schools; clinics and hospitals; the training environment in business and industry; government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs); and from the adult and community education sectors. In this school students can pursue advanced studies in education law and policy, computer integrated education, curriculum and assessment design-to mention a few. Students in this School benefit from a strong library with one of the most comprehensive collection of research journals in education; a well-equipped Post-Graduate Research Centre; and programmed opportunities (such as the Annual Post-Graduate Research Indaba) for presenting and defending emerging student research.
