Welcome to the Department of Mathematics Education AAMUSTED.

Mathematics in general is one of the oldest subjects that is studied at all levels of the educational levels. Mathematicians are nowadays making substantial contribution to world by creating the appropriate tools necessary in solving societal problems such as health sciences, engineering, computer sciences and management science.

The Department of Mathematics Education services the entire university community from undergraduate to  postgraduate programmes. The department runs BSc. Mathematics Education, Med Mathematics Education, MPhil Mathematics Education and PhD Mathematics Education. The aim of the department is to thrive to attain excellence in Mathematics Education via teaching and research and this is being through highly motived qualified faculty of national and international repute. Faculty members are publishing their research findings in a range of professional referred journals and books of international repute. 

Faculty members are actively involved in delivering talks at various international and regional conferences and workshops. Mathematics Education graduates of this department will need to apply their skills to solve complex problems teachers encounter both classroom and outside environment in the ever-changing world. Mathematics is noted for playing providing a fundamental role in the skills and framework needed to tackle such challenges in the complex society. It is a pivot for many innovation and invention in many academic disciplines such engineering and science.
