Master in Indigenous Education and Development | KU School of Education

The Master in Indigenous Education and Development program at KUSOED, is a one-year initiative born from extensive deliberations on the importance of Indigenous knowledge and local practices in bridging the gap between nature and culture. It explores local solutions to global issues such as customary laws, traditional governance, and sustainable management of natural resources and biodiversity.
