Overview

At the beginning, the specializations and tasks of the Department of Education were undertaken within the Department of the College of Education, which was established in 1385/1386 A.H. Then it was subdivided into two departments, the Department of Psychology and the Department of Curricula and Teaching Methods. As for the Department of Education, it provided the specializations of the division of Principles of Education and the division of Educational Management and Planning for students who seek educational training at the College of Education.

In 1395/1396 A.H, the department started to provide the postgraduate studies program, for the diploma and master phases, in educational management and planning and the principles of comparative education.

In 1406 A.H, the department started to provide the doctoral program in the divisions of Educational Management and Principles of Education.

In 1407, the two divisions of the Department of Education were separated into two independent departments:
