Welcome To The Department of Science and Technology Education

I welcome you to the Department of Science and Technology Education (STE). The Department came to existence after the Governing Council of the Obafemi Awolowo University approved the restructuring of the Faculty of Education on 14th March, 2014.

This led to the creation of the Department of Science and Technology Education  from the old Department of Special Education and Curriculum Studies that has been in existence since October, 1976 that was put in place by the  Provisional Council of the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University)  with the approval of  the creation of a Faculty of Education in October, 1967 with only four departments, namely, Department of Education, Department of Adult Education, Institute of Education, and School of General Studies.
