Department of Education

Our work is founded on constant inquiry and emphasis on scholarship is how we gain insight to problems and create solutions. As an education and research area, our structure and operation is inclined to academics in the believe that good leadership is constant search for knowledge.


Because we prioritize knowledge and scholarship in our work, we have established institutions of learning. This helps to solve educational needs and close knowledge gaps in the chosen fields. Our unique administrative model from the local, national, to the international level is structured to reflect that drive for scholarship. This allows us to rigorously debate and challenge ideas before they become policy. View our model.


Furthermore, we recognize that the lose of access to education is usually one of the first impacts of violent conflicts. Thus our education advocacy has become very crucial and popular amongst the people. As part of the effort to provide quality education to the affected population especially those that are internally displaced and those seeking refuge in other countries, we have set up two important institutions:

  • Institute for the Prevention of Transnational Crisis across Southeastern Nigeria and Southern Cameroons (IPTC-SENSC):
Our founding institute, it is where we monitor and study security developments and work with stakeholders to prevent crises in the region.

  • The Protected Campus for Policy, Administration and Services Studies (PC-PASS):
This is physical education centre in which security is guaranteed through protective accompaniments and the presence of Human Rights Observers. It is also the coordination and administration centre for essential services as well as where community representatives meet in safety to carry out their day to day leadership roles among which is their participation in the Research Roundtable.


  • Refuge University Initiative:
This initiative had proven so successful we have coordinated and received approval from the ministry of education of Ukraine to extend this unique offering to the people of Ukraine affected by the war. At the moment, most of the service of the institute is online, however, our long term goal is to have a physical location within PC-PASS.
