Embury Institute for Higher Education is a fully accredited private higher education institution that specializes in teacher education, specifically for pre-school and primary school teachers (Foundation and Intermediate Phases). Embury was established in 1995, and we believe that we produce some of the best-trained teachers in South Africa. If you don’t believe us, read this 2015 report by the Centre for Development and Enterprise (CDE).
What makes us so special?
We believe that our Teaching Practice model sets us apart from all other institutions that train teachers in South Africa. Where other institutions, including public universities, require that students spend about 6 weeks per year doing teaching practice in a school as a single block session, Embury’s students spend one week in class and one week in a school during the first three years of our four-year BEd Foundation Phase degree!
