HISTORY
The Department of Educational Foundations and Counselling was created on 1st March, 1978
following the re-organisation of the existing Department of Education by
the University. From that date, the giant Department of Education was
split into three new manageable departments. With this new arrangement,
the department of Educational Foundations and Counselling was
established and given the mandate to teach undergraduate foundation
courses in Education in addition to running postgraduate programmes in
Philosophy of Education, History of Education, Sociology of Education,
Educational Psychology, Comparative Education and Guidance Counselling.
Its objective is to prepare those who chose career in teacher education
at all levels and to prepare specialists in all areas of educational
practices.
For the Bachelor Degree programme in Education, the Department was
saddled with the responsibility of housing the B.Sc Education (Social
Sciences) programmes of the Faculty of Education.
Thus, apart from teaching foundation courses in Education to all
Parts II, III and IV Education students, the B.Sc Education (Economics),
B.Sc Education (Geography) and B.Sc Education (Political Science)
programmes are currently housed in the Department.
