Wismar Gibson, Master of Education

Erika Van der Merwe, Master of Education (M.Ed.)

“I chose the Master of Education (M.Ed.) because I wanted to equip myself with skills and knowledge to apply in my teaching practice. The course covered modules like the use of technology in teaching and assessment, as well as different philosophies of education. It also helped me gain more international teaching options and I’m looking at the possibility of progressing into a leadership position in the future.”
