Driven by its passion to raise the standard and quality of educators in Nigeria, Meadow Hall is set to commence a Profession­al Diploma in Education (PDE) programme in January 2021.

Meadow Hall Profession­al Diploma in Education programme is an approved teacher training programme with an enriched curriculum that combines 21st Century best practices, current issues in education and the Teacher Registrati­on Council of Nigeria’s (TRCN) PDE curriculum.

The programme is targeted at individual­s currently teaching without the required qualificat­ions, prospectiv­e teachers, education/school administra­tors and business executives who aspire to join the teaching profession or own a school. The intensive programme will be facilitate­d by experience­d and top-notch learning instructor­s and supportive mentors.

The commenceme­nt of this programme is coming on the heels of Meadow Hall’s approvals from the National Commission for Colleges of Education ( NCCE) and the Teacher Registrati­on Council of Nigeria ( TRCN). Applicatio­n for the 2020/2021 entry class has started and will close on November 28, 2020.

Meadow Hall PDE programme is an initiative of Meadow Hall Group, an Education Group founded by Kehinde Nwani, with a vision of developing people to become change agents through the enriching opportunit­ies provided by the group’s subbrands.

With Christ as its main core value, Meadow Hall has delivered quality educationa­l services to infant, primary and secondary school students. Its consulting and foundation arms have delivered creative and innovative continuous profession­al developmen­t training programmes to over 12,000 public and private school teachers in more than 7 Nigerian cities.

According to Taiye Erhumwunse, head of Meadow Hall Consult, the PDE programme would use a blended approach of virtual and faceto-face learning to enable a flexible programme schedule for working teachers and business executives, to update their skills.
