At the beginning, Pedagogical College ensured the training in two specialties: preschool pedagogy and primary school pedagogy. Since the academic year 2000-2001, the specialty “Preschool Pedagogy” was transformed into new and pressing specialty – Preschool pedagogy with foreign (English) language. This specialty provides wider chances for professional realization due to the additional qualification – “Foreign (English) language teacher in kindergarten”.
Since the academic year 2014-2015 the specialties increased with yet another one – Primary school pedagogy and English, that trains primary school teachers possessing the necessary qualification to teach English as well from I to IV grade.
