The BEd Primary is a four year honours
degree programme leading to full recognition to teach by
the Department of Education.
At St Mary’s we believe that
our vocation is to prepare and provide excellent teachers who
can lead and inspire children in a life of learning and who will
pass on the beliefs, values, knowledge and skills necessary for
leading a full life in society. Teaching is not just a job, it
is a vocation. Teachers must believe in their vocation and in
the importance of their work for the future of the individual
child and the well–being of society as a whole. In our teacher
education courses we aim to provide teachers who have:
- a liking and caring for children and a sensitivity towards
their needs;
- an enthusiasm about teaching and a commitment to the education
process;
- a belief in the promotion of equal opportunities, recognising
differences occasioned by race, religion, sex, class or disability
and the need to adopt non-discriminatory practices in all these
respects;
- a willingness to learn and an openness to change and innovation;
- a lively mind and a range of cultural and other interests.
