Department Overview

The Department of Educational Sciences was founded since the establishment of the College of Education in 1413 under the name of the Department of Education and Psychology.

The Support Service Department was concerned with providing educational materials for training primary school teachers in the departments.

With the change of the name of the college from the Teacher’s College to the College of Education, the objectives of the Department and the courses changed too.
