vakansiya — 2024

School of Education (SE)

Building on teaching as a central part of scholarly identity of ADA University, the School of Education was established in 2015 as the heir of the previous School of Humanities and Sciences. Born out of the immediate need of the country to train modern educators, who, in turn, enable “educated modern citizenry”, the School pursues innovative and dynamic education programs and hands-on research in collaboration with local public school partners. Currently focused on graduate studies, the School of Education commits itself to addressing the educational needs of learners of all ages and works closely with decision and policy makers in the national education sector.
