The GHFP believes that for a human-centred education vision to take root in mainstream education and benefit more children young people and other learners, it is important to explore the concept in a deep and scholarly manner. We also propose that in educational innovation, research and practice must go hand-in-hand. Teachers are well-posited within educational institutions to launch research inquiries and investigate how best to nurture students' learning, growth and well-being.
Our commitment to educational innovation has led us to developing a unique Masters in Education Studies programme that has a focus on Person-Centred Education. Person-Centred Education (PCE) is based on the premise that learning is an active search for meaning and understanding. It is achieved through engaging in a set of positive human relations within a community, realised not only through an academic programme, but also through encounter, participation, dialogue and inquiry. 'Person-Centred' and 'Human-Centred' are understood as synonymous. |

What our students say: |
| |
|
| |
"I have become more confident and have a stronger belief in myself. I am more aware of person-centred education and will strive to incorporate it in my work." |
| |
|
| |
"I have learned to trust the opportunities that are presented to me as things to consider, even if not to always follow. I have learned to listen carefully to others talk about their journeys and to become more analytical about the motivations and meaning behind some of the things we say and do. I have also become more observant and from there reflective and reflexive." |
