Gulu University Faculty of Education and Humanities
Gulu University Faculty of Education and Humanities – Read details below:
Gulu University, one of the five operating public universities in Uganda, opened its first academic semester in October 2002 with two faculties: the Faculty of Science Education and the Institute of Human Resource Development. Therefore, the Faculty of Science Education which was later transformed into Faculty of Education and Humanities is in essence a pioneer faculty.
The then Faculty of Science Education started with science subject combinations which included Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Geography, Economics, Sport Science and Technological Education. In its strategic plan of 2003/2004–2008/2009 and arising from the increasing demand for higher education, the Faculty envisioned a growing need in academic programmes, staffing and student enrolment. It is against this background that the University Senate decided to introduce the teaching of combinations in the Humanities viz; History, Language, Literature, Business Education, Religion, Economics and Geography. The University Council approved the restructuring of the Faculty of Science Education into the Faculty of Education and Humanities and the Faculty of Science.
The Faculty of Science Education started with 68 students in 2002/2003 growing into a population of 959 students in 2012/2013
