The field of education has a dearth of professionals who have the capacity to develop curriculum, train teachers, conduct evidenced based research to influence education policies, strengthen the pedagogy of discipline-based teaching at various levels of education, administer educational institutions and provide leadership in achieving educational goals.
The Masters programme in Education that has commenced from the academic year 2013–14 at TISS Hyderabad attempts to address this gap in the field of Education. This programme will have significant commonalities with the Master of Arts in Education (Elementary) programme, which is being offered from TISS Mumbai since 2005, in terms of its intent and structure. While both the teaching programmes seek to contribute to the professionalisation and discipline building of education in India, the MA Education will be different from the earlier programme in certain respects. The effort of the MA Education (Elementary) programme has been to strengthen elementary education while the MA Education programme will seek to build a focus on all levels of education ranging from pre-school and school to higher education including the possibility of understanding the education sector and working with Government departments engaged in administering education programmes.

The overall objective of the programme will be to develop capacities of students for academic study of education with a view to facilitating their active immersion and self-reflexive involvement at the ground level whether as teachers/teacher educators or textbook writers/policy makers or in a range of capacities associated with the field of education.
