However, there are still some 70 million out-of-school children and around 780 millions adults deprived of such rights in our world today.
It is within this perspective that this Master Degree Programme is offered. It addresses the rapidly emerging needs and challenges facing globalization and global education from a much broader perspective and focuses on the following research and training areas, namely: Education of Quality for All – International and Comparative Perspective, Educational Policy, Educational Planning, Administration and Management, Globalization and Education Reforms, Gender and Education, Education for Sustainable Development and Rural Transformation.

The programme comprises 120 higher education credits (120 ECTS), and its duration is four terms.
