Mahindra University announces launch of MA in Education programme

New Delhi: Indira Mahindra School of Education at Mahindra University has announced the launch of a two-year, full-time MA (Education) program, classes for which will begin in August 2023. The University is now inviting applications from eligible undergraduate students aspiring to make a career in the field of Education. The registration deadline is June 5, 2023.

By launching MA in Education, Mahindra University joins the league of select institutions in setting out to prepare students for the ever-growing education sector in India.

The introduction of an MA in Education program by Mahindra University fills in a void of preparing well-rounded, critical and well-informed future thinkers and leaders in the education sector. The program envisages training of students in critical research skills, theoretical knowledge, thematic and analytical exposition, and a clear linkage with field-based learnings, all of which are in-built into the curriculum by way of making students write a detailed Master’s dissertation.

The faculty at Indira Mahindra School of Education are trained at and have taught in Educational Studies in reputed Universities and research centres in India and abroad. They bring long years of engagement with various nationally and internationally well-known organisations and think tanks. Their research on various aspects of education informs the teaching and learning processes in the classrooms.

Announcing the launch of MA Education program, Professor S. Srinivasa Rao, Dean, Indira Mahindra School of Education, said ‘’As we move into an era of revolution in terms of expansion of education at all levels (elementary, secondary, higher, vocational and early childhood education), we need more and more well-trained professionals who could go beyond the teacher training programmes, and are drawn from a wider pool of multi-disciplinary areas and subjects into Education programs. At Mahindra University, we welcome students who have completed their under-graduation in any subject (B.A/ B.Com/B.Sc/B.Tech/B.B.A/B.El.Ed/B.Ed) and have desire to enter into Education/Development Sectors. Also, students who wish to pursue research careers in Educational Studies or consultancy services”.

Further, he said, “We want our students to challenge the way Education policies, processes and practices are understood currently in conventional institutions of education, which will then enable them to make meaningful contributions to the country and world at large”.

What is unique at Indira Mahindra School of Education is that the students are provided with training in liberal arts perspectives (from Economics, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, History, Political Science and Management) to help them grasp the interconnected ways in which Education sector functions. Moreover, the School will bring grassroot practitioners and professionals working in various developmental organisations and CSR initiatives to come to campus to share their experiences with budding students of MA Education. This is in addition to interactions with well know national and international thought leaders, researchers and practitioners in education.

Indira Mahindra School of Education will be a place in India for global experiences in the field of Education. So, do register for its MA education program now!
