Teacher Education in Physical Education & Primary Education

Profile of the programme

The ALO-Pabo teacher training programme, which takes 4.5 years, qualifies graduates to teach PE in secondary and primary education. This dual Bachelor’s programme combines the PE teacher training programme for secondary education (ALO) and that for primary education (Pabo). Upon completing this dual Bachelor’s, graduates are qualified to teach PE throughout the entire educational field (primary education, secondary education, special education and secondary vocational education). Graduates with the Bachelor’s degree for primary education (Pabo) are qualified to teach PE in regular and special primary education. During the degree programme, students do work placements in different educational contexts. In addition, students develop the self-confidence to take on challenges, and an integral view (particularly on cognitive and physical development) that is visible in their skills, knowledge and attitude, and students develop as a pioneer in order to contribute to children growing up healthy. Upon attaining both degree certificates, students will be widely deployable.
