We all had that one teacher who made a difference in our life. Western prepares you to be that person. This degree offers a mix of theory and real-world experience, so you emerge as a highly sought-after primary-school teacher. You will also graduate with the ability to thrive in careers outside the classroom, like working in policy, curriculum development, education and administration.
