The Associate Degree in Education (ADE) is the premier initial teacher education programme for teachers in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean.
Why should you choose the ADE? Here’s why:
- There are several areas to choose from (e.g. Early Childhood Education; Primary Education; Secondary Education, with focus on teaching different subject areas; Technical and Vocational Education)
- It is recognised by The UWI as the equivalent of Level 1 (Year 1) of the Bachelor in Education degree (students enter the B.Ed. at Level 2)
- It is recognised by the Ministries of Education in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean (greater opportunities for employment)
- It is accepted by other regional and international education institutions for entry to their degree programmes
- If you are in the Eastern Caribbean, you can pursue your studies right at home at your national college
The ADE provides a pathway for further higher education qualifications.
