About Us
Brief history
The Faculty of Science Education started as the Division of Science Education with three Departments - The Department of Mathematics Education, The Department of Science Education and The Department of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Sports. Presently, the Division has ten Departments. The change from ‘Division’ to Faculty came with the University’s autonomy. In 2009, the Science Education Department broke up into four Departments namely: Biology Education, Chemistry Education, Integrated Science Education and Physics Education. The Department of Home Economics Education which was initially under the Division of Applied Arts and Technology Education (DAATE) also became part of the Division after DAATE was relocated to Kumasi campus. The ICT Unit also became an academic Department. In 2013, the Department of Health Administration and Education also came on board.
