Philosophy

The Philosophy of Educational Management focuses on acquisition of appropriate managerial skills, abilities and competences such that the prospective educational managers would better understand human behaviour and provide effective and efficient educational management services. The Establishment of the B.Ed Educational Management Programme is hinged on the philosophy that man is a highly social being, with the natural tendency to grow and interact within his environment, preserve and react to changes that occur.

   The B. Ed degree programme is the amalgam of the courses in Educational Administration and Educational Planning. The merger of the courses in Educational Administration and Educational Planning has resulted in the new code EMA which is used throughout the B. Ed degree programme where relevant. This means that the new nomenclature covers Educational Administration and Planning. To make the Educational Management Philosophy functional, the National Policy on Education, section 9 provides further details on the goals, which are provision of the following:

(a) the acquisition, development and inculcation of proper value-orientation for the survival of the individual and society;

(b) the development of intellectual capacities of individuals to understand and appreciate their environment;

(c) the acquisition of both physical and intellectual skills which will enable individuals to develop into useful members of the community;

(d) The acquisition of an objective view of the local and external environments.
