B.Ed. Early Grade

The B.Ed. Early Grade at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development prepares you for a career teaching young children in the early years of primary school. This full-time degree is offered at Asante Mampong. Here is what you can expect from the programme and what you need to know about getting a place.

What studying early grade education involves

Programmes of this kind focus on teaching children in the early primary years, typically from kindergarten through lower primary. You learn about child development, how to teach reading, writing, and numeracy, and how to design lessons that keep young learners engaged. The degree builds practical skills in classroom management, assessing children's progress, and adapting teaching to different learning needs. Most graduates go into teaching in primary schools, often in the early grade levels, while others move into educational support roles with NGOs or government agencies working on foundational learning.

How competitive entry is

This programme is less competitive than many other degree courses, meaning that a student who meets the university's published admission requirements has a good chance of getting a place. You still need to satisfy the basic entry criteria for a B.Ed degree, and any specific requirements the university lists. Rather than relying on a cutoff number, check your own grades against the published requirements to see if you qualify.
