In 2009 the Departments Psychology and Psycho-Education resumed the training of Educational Psychologists, after it had been dormant for a few years. This training will help ease the huge demand for Educational Psychologists in the central region of the country, as well as a need that was expressed by the Free State Department of Education in 2008.
