Department of Foundations of Education

   

Department of Foundations of Education examines, from an inter-disciplinary perspective, various social forces, institutions and human relations which undergrid both theory and practice of education and form the bedrock of educational programmes and policies. Major thrust areas of the Department include quality of education, alternate paradigms looking beyond schooling and projecting trajectories for the future, and lifelong learning with particular focus on educational needs of youth. The Department engages in explorations and discourses on these aspects from both indigenous and global perspectives.  It provides opportunity for speculating about the theories of both educator and education. The philosophical exercises are the priority of this department.
