Kathmandu University, School of Education (KUSOED) was established in 1997 with the aim of contributing to enhance the quality of education in the country. The School carried out its first activity in raising the quality of the public schools in Dhulikhel (Dhulikhel is a small town, 30 km east of Kathmandu where the main campus of the university is located) mainly through in-service teacher training and other programs. Its first academic programs were initiated in 1998 with M Phil and PhD in Educational Leadership. In the coming years the School expanded its academic activities by adding new programs, thereby, escalating its scope. KUSOED today aspires to empower educators with an aim of creating a generation of engaged and socially responsible citizens.
KUSOED has been an innovative educational institution since its inception in 1997. It has been recognised as an educational innovator, policy influencer, and driver in the country. To take a lead role in the educational activities in the country, KUSOED has established its vision as Transforming Society through Educational Excellence. All its programs are directed towards achieving its vision. Realising the fact that education is the foundation for social transformation, it has been designing its educational programs to contribute to the learning needs of individuals in the changing national and international contexts.
