Colleges & Departments

The National Teachers College, which had educated nearly 5,900 primary educators since its foundation as the Temporary Educational Institute for Primary Educators in 1946, was reborn as the Teachers College of Jeju National University in March 2008.

Jeju National University has since become the first national university with an unrivaled educational institute capable of fostering both the primary and secondary educators. The national subsidies for the consolidation of the two institutes and plenty of incentives given for state-funded projects are reinvested to raise the quality of the educational programs.

The Teachers College will be renovated as the educational institute for the nation’s best-skilled primary teachers with expertise, manners, and passion through its unequaled facilities, systems, and curricula.

The fundamental goal of the Teachers College is to foster professional teachers with a broad understanding of the characteristics of elementary school students as well as a firm understanding of educational content and teaching methods. Furthermore, the Teachers College has concentrated on nurturing educators with a strong work ethic and passion based on the humanities and social manners, exemplary personalities, and an in-depth awareness of the dignity and values of a teaching post.

The Teachers College will make further contributions to the regional and national development by creating talented teachers with the community pride and global awareness that can lead the ‘glocalized’ 21st century.
