DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION STUDIES
About this programme
The Diploma in Development Education Studies programme is a two-year programme designed to respond to the training and skills gaps of field staff, community promoters and other relevant groups with basic qualifications for community education and more. Such staff and promoters are often selected from rural communities and often, with very minimal qualifications. The programme therefore seeks to train skilled personnel who can serve in mass education programmes and advocacy-based organisations. The ultimate aim of the Diploma in Development Education Studies programme is to provide students with basic theoretical and practical knowledge and skills that can prepare them to begin their careers as development education and/or advocacy practitioners. Graduates of the Diploma programme have employment prospects in governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and/or agencies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and donor agencies, among others. Successful graduates at the Diploma level who wish to continue the programme can ladder unto the Degree programme from level 200.
