Policy for College

HIgher Educational policy

Dear sisters

     I perceive the FSAG Higher Education Policy as a cherished dream. It gives me immense pleasure to materialize one of the th resolutions of our 30 General Chapter in the form of FSAG Higher Education Policy of our Congregation. It is the fruit of the team work of the Committee headed by Sr. Dr. A Antony Maria Jansi, the General Education Coordinator.
With regard to Higher Education we have a long way to go. Yet opening an opportunity for the rural young women to continue their studies and promoting them to Higher Education is a felt need. As days go by the society is facing a lot of problems, to hold on and safe guard the republic sovereign nature of our nation. Higher education is the need of the hour that women should join hands in the struggle with profound knowledge and understanding the problems and to find solutions. Orienting the youth in the right direction is a felt to be vital, in order to have equality and to guide the humanity.
Policy in general is a guide line and this policy is to be practiced by all in the Higher Education ministry as a reference point to enable us to achieve our goal systematically and effectively. I am sure that all of us familiarize with the policy and absorb its spirit and put into meaningful practice to the maximum.
May I appreciate and thank Sr. Dr. AAntony Maria Jansi FSAG the General Education coordinator and the Province Education coordinators Sr. Dr. Jona Maria Selvi, Sr. Josephine Therese Revathi and Sr. Mathi Margaret with the help of the educationists Fr. Dr. S. Emmanual SJ, and Fr. Dr. M Sahayaraj SJ, for their effort in bringing out the FSAG Higher Education policy.
I hope that every sister who is involved in higher education apostolate, may follow this policy, executing each and every part of it putting it into action to have transparency in our governance to have novelty and uniqueness in our higher Education.

Education assists in the total formation of each individual within the human community the fullest development of all talents: intellectual, imaginative, affective, and creative, effective communication skills, physical , the balanced person.

They should become instruments of a new social order and agents of social change.
