Faculty of Education

Introduction

The Faculty of Education and Sciences at Stella Maris Mtwara University College (STEMMUCO) is the first faculty to be established at College. It is therefore as old as the college itself (established in 2009). Its establishment emanated from the educational needs and challenges facing Tanzania particularly the southern zone. It is an undeniable fact that STEMMUCO through the Faculty of Education operates within a national landscape where access, success and equity, quality, relevance and broad transformation have been proven to be a challenge. As the Faculty of Education, our vision is in line with the broader vision of the University; to become a reputable and vibrant higher learning institution responsive to regional, national and international dev elopment needs.

The Faculty therefore, strives to provide a unique insight into how to promote a positive learning experience for students enrolled across a range of programmes offered by the departments and units within the Faculty. The units in the two departments in the faculty according to their specialization are as follows:

  1. The Unit of Educational Foundations,
  2. The Unit of Mathematics and Statistics
  3. The Unit of History,
  4. The Unit of Geography,
  5. The Unit of Kiswahili,
  6. The Unit of Linguistics and 
  7. The Unit of Chemistry

In all these departments and units, the focus has been on the fullest possible development of the students, encouraging individuals to become the very best or finest to enable them reach their goals. Students entering study at any programme in the Faculty will therefore find a competitive but supportive environment in which every student is taken seriously, holistically and competently prepared by our qualified academic staff, to excel as a professional teacher employable in any part of the world
