Faculty of Education
Welcome
The existence of human being is rewarding with education. It rewards by providing
understanding of world around us, prepares for survival and competitive jobs,
ensures secure and productive future, opens new vistas of knowledge, enrichment
of existing skills and experiences for greater illumination to shape the society.
The unwavering confidence and creative work of educated persons broaden
horizon of awareness, understanding and practice in dichotomizing right and
wrong that enhances intelligent understanding of life and helps how to think
ideally, how to work properly and how to make decisions to become authors
of our own life stories. Nothing denying that at the heart of every educational
endeavor is a vision of the teacher; even the quality of an education system
cannot exceed the quality of its teachers. The academics are part of knowledge
building communities without any geographical, local, provincial, national and
international levels. When someone is ready to take on the world, the blossoming
relationship between teacher and taught accelerates access to the best possible
educational opportunities
