Professional Studies Syllabus A

Professional Studies Syllabus A (PSA) is designed for a post ‘O’ level pre-service student teacher on a three year education programme (Primary) organised into semesters and modules. During the first year (two semesters), the student teacher is exposed to theoretical knowledge of the teaching profession. The second year is spent on Work Integrated Learning (WIL) in schools, supported by distance education and e-learning.

The final two semesters enable the student teacher to reflect on the WIL experience. Students complete their modules by the end of each semester. PSA is designed to guide the student teacher to general knowledge of school administration and management as well as classroom management and teaching skills. It is compulsory for both the ECD and General Course student teacher.
