Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Education and Special Education 教育學士(幼兒教育及特殊教育)
BEd(ECE&SE)
Short Description
The BEd(ECE&SE) programme allows graduates to nurture and teach children from birth to six years in diverse early childhood settings (e.g., kindergartens, child care centres and special child care centres). It provides students with a strong foundation in the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for working with young children and their families. The programme fully integrates early childhood education with inclusive education hence students will be prepared to recognise children’s diverse needs and effectively support children with both typical and atypical development. The programme combines rigorous academic study with experiential learning, internship, and practical application.
Following graduation, students can apply for registration as a qualified kindergarten teacher, a child care worker and supervisor under the Child Care Services Regulations. They will be considered to having acquired training on the One-year In-service Course in Special Child Care Work recognised by the Social Welfare Department. Graduates will also be considered to have met the academic qualifications required as a kindergarten principal.
