Our Values

Building on a long history in teacher education and education research, while also looking forward to the future, the Faculty is guided by two main documents. The first is the Faculty of Education Strategic Plan 2018-2023, which highlights where we wish to be over the coming years. The second is the Flourishing as a Faculty document, which encapsulates the values of the Faculty of Education. Within this document, we identify and discuss the values that will promote sustainability and human dignity such as equity, diversity, inclusion, reconciliation, and empowerment, both within the Faculty and in its relationships with the wider world.
