Students study child psychology, early childhood development, curriculum planning, classroom management, instructional methods, and educational technology, among other core subjects. The programme blends theory with teaching practice, ensuring graduates are confident and competent in real classroom environments. Upon graduation, students can pursue careers as nursery school teachers, primary school teachers, educational administrators, or curriculum developers within both public and private school systems.
