Join Us In Elevating Academics As University Teachers!

The National University Teaching Awards (NUTA) showcases the outstanding impact of individuals and teams who teach or support learning in South African higher education.

The aims of the 2024 NUTA are:

• Recognise innovative and inclusive teaching and learning in higher education at a national level.
• Generate a cadre of academics who can provide inspiration and leadership in teaching and learning in their disciplines across and beyond the institution.
• Celebrate the unique contextual responsiveness of academics that led to their growth and transformed practice as university teachers.

We look forward to collaboratively building capacity in the following focus areas:

• Benefits of the teaching awards
• University institutional awards systems
• Criteria for a Winning Teaching Portfolio
• Institutional and NUTA mentoring systems
• NUTA framework and categories
• Mitigating potential challenges
