Message from Dean

Prof. Bed Raj Acharya, PhD

Faculty of Education has a glorious history which is connected with the establishment of College of Education on September 9, 1956 with an aim of preparing trained teacher educators, educational researchers, planners and administrators. It is outward that the Faculty of Education has been working as a part of the Tribhuvan University, the oldest university in Nepal, for several years, thereby demonstrating its excellence as its disciplinary identity. The primary focus is given to producing graduates with competencies of educational leadership, research, curriculum making, and facilitating the learning of students who can contribute to educational and social transformation. It takes approaches to facilitate transformation in favor of meaning-centered, authentic, and inclusive educational systems, processes, and outcomes.

We have a tradition of engaging students in change-seeking participatory pedagogies that facilitate them in experiential and critical reflective learning. They are involved in plural epistemic traditions that arise from local and global wisdom traditions. They are enabled to reflect, critique, and envision the change in the educational and social milieu. The availability of learning resources including ICTs facilitates to the promotion of such meaningful learning. The online or face-to-face or blended mode of pedagogies maximizes the students’ choice of learning mode. We strive to develop our academic programs to demonstrate a unique blend of needs expressed by the community and futuristic orientation offered by local, regional, and international instruments and frameworks and the ongoing research of the scholarly communities. We collaborate with academic organizations, universities, and research organizations.
