Education (Primary)

How can I study Primary Education?
What is Primary Education?

The primary years of schooling are a crucial stage of schooling for all children. From the early years through the middle to the later years of primary school, teachers need specialist preparation as they are required to teach across key learning areas and to have the skills and knowledge to understand and manage the diverse issues related to early and middle childhood. UQ’s Primary program prepares students for teaching across years P-7, through a four-year undergraduate degree.
