Establishment

Birzeit University first offered a teacher education program in the 1970s – at that time it was called a teaching certificate program. It was the first Palestinian university to offer such a program. It was also the first shortly thereafter to offer a master’s program in education. At the beginning of the 2010/2011 school year, the Department of Education and Psychology developed into the Faculty of Education, which included the Department of Curriculum and Teaching.
