The practice of teaching is fundamental to all societies. It is the glue that holds cultures and
peoples together. Teaching ensures that knowledge and skills are passed onto others and recorded
through generations.
The School of Art Education at COFA provides comprehensive and integrated programs to
students wishing to become art and design teachers. The programs ensure that students understand
processes of critical assessment and trends in art history and the fine arts, design, new media and
art history alongside courses in learning and teaching. The programs enable students to
practice and specialise in artistic and design oriented disciplines of their choice. Most
importantly perhaps, the programs prepare students to develop their a professional approach to
curriculum.
