Bachelor of Science And/with Education. B.Sc.Ed
The Bachelor of Science and/with Education is a degree awarded to students who complete the four to five year course of study in the field of science (major and minor in biology, chemistry, physics, math) and Education, it is the combination of degree in science and education course(sometimes refer to double degree programs B.Sc + B.Ed = B.Sc.Ed). Although notionally B.Sc and B.Ed are two degrees, they must be taken together. There are very few universities that offer this course because it requires collaboration between the Faculty/School of Science and that of Education. It is to make sure that the teacher not only can work in education institution but also industrial area that related to science.
In Malaysia, it is one of the toughest admittance degree for the students get into. Students not only need a distinction result but also need to go through psychology test, tough interview and demo of teaching. Students who already get these courses will be given a full scholarship by Minister of Education. Upon graduation, the students will straight away get job offers from government and private institutions (mostly teach for matriculation, foundation or high school students) due to deep understanding of specific science and professional teaching training. Graduates also can work in other science related industries. Bachelor of Science AND Education is totally different from Bachelor of Science IN Education.
In Singapore, the National Institute of Education, an autonomous institute of Nanyang Technological University, offers a 4year undergraduate programme, offering BSc(Ed) or BA(Ed) in its initial teacher training programmes. Students are taught pedagogical theories and principles, alongside their chosen subject majors (and minors).

“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
