Faculty of Education

Dean’s Message

I am delighted to introduce you to the Faculty of Education at The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, which is premier University of Southern Punjab, Pakistan. Located in the heart of the historically and culturally rich city of Bahawalpur, the university with a healthy and safe climate provides ideal conditions for academic, sports, and co-curricular activities. Our inclusive ethos and commitment to the highest standards of all-around education have ensured an enviable reputation for The Faculty of Education. We are proud and gratified that our students come from all over Pakistan and represent a broad cross-section of society making IUB a mini-Pakistan in the truest sense.
We are justifiably proud of our academic performance, but at the faculty of education, education means much more than the pursuit of quality education. Character building, instilling high moral values, development of wholesome personality, and awareness of societal obligations are central to what we offer here. We are acutely aware of our obligation to equip our students to make their way in the world as confident, caring, dignified, and responsible global citizens. The sense of discipline and respect for rules is a great strength of all departments of this faculty. It is a learning community that seeks success for each student as we strive to deepen our core values of unshakeable faith, belief in hard work, achievements through honest and fair means, and facing challenges boldly.
At the Faculty of Education, we aim to encourage a never-ending quest for knowledge among our students. Inquisitiveness, curiosity, and thirst for knowledge and research are qualities we try to impart. Our curriculum is continually reformed by research through which the education today we impart is bold, rigorous, and global in outlook. We are the torch bearers of impactful research combined with open discussion on innovative ideas and free exchange of deeper thought process. I believe that our faculty, students, and supporting staff are among the very best. We provide a very conducive and rich learning environment where all teachers working tirelessly and with devotion avail every opportunity to impart knowledge. We strongly believe in a merit-based system in everything we do. Moving forward, we have already begun the process of further improving our overall curriculum. Over the last few months, the faculty and university management have had several conversations on ways that our departments can bring about some significant improvements. In the coming years, greater emphasis will be placed at all levels to build up our students' capacity, beyond just the academic areas. Educational leadership, discipline, and organizational skills will feature strongly in their curricular and co-curricular education. We plan and hope to make the faculty of Education a center of excellence in all aspects. The Faculty of Education is a unique and exciting educational community. I look forward to your adventurous voyage once you start to think of joining this enviable path of glory and success.
