WELCOME
A Word of Welcome
Dr Sela Tapaátoutai-Teisina
Dean, Faculty of Education, Arts and Humanities
Welcome to the Faculty of Education, Arts, & Humanities (FEAH). It is one of four faculties established at the official launch of the Tonga National University in January 2023. This faculty is an amalgamation of three former Ministry of Education & Training post-secondary institutions, namely the Tonga Institute of Education, now the School of Education, the School of Media and Journalism, and Ako Tuʻuloa or Open Access Education.
In May 2024, a new addition to the faculty was welcomed with the establishment of the School of Tongan Language and Culture.
FEAH offers fourteen programmes; nine by the School of Education, two each by the School of Media and Journalism and Ako Tuʻuloa, and one by the School of Tongan Language and Culture. The Faculty aspires for excellence in programme development, delivery, scholarship, research, and high standards in education.
The School of Education has had an influential role in teacher education in Tonga for over eight decades, guided by a vision to nurture quality teachers for Tonga. The School of Media and Journalism provides foundational knowledge and skills in journalism and reporting. Ako Tuʻuloa supports students returning to formal education, and the School of Tongan Language and Culture strengthens Tongan language, culture, and identity.
Driven by the commitment to educational excellence, constant pursuit of knowledge and visionary thinking, FEAH will continue to be a preeminent place for learning, research and training in education, communication, media and journalism studies, Tongan Language and Culture, and pathways to higher-level studies.
ʻOfa atu,
