Organizer ISKCON Ministry of Education
Organizer of ISKCON Educators Conference - 2019
The Ministry of Education's (MOE) mission is to facilitate, administer and develop ISKCON’s educational system. The MOE is primarily an empowering body, facilitating education and educators. Therefore the MOE recommends principles, guidelines and values. It is also involved with issues of assessment and accreditation for educational initiatives and institutions. Thus the MOE takes moral responsibility for the development of education in ISKCON but otherwise it does not directly control any facet of the implementation of education. This is left to the array of educational initiatives already existing.
