Academy
Education is a continuous process of changing the behaviour of societies. Societies develop as a result of this continuous process, but the process itself faces a variety of challenges. Tajzia Academy is the place where we’re aimed to identify the challenges faced by educational institutions. Academy doesn’t have proper classes, and a competent faculty, but we do have people who face numerous problems in their educational concerns and are attempting to make a difference. Tajzia’s Academy is the place where we discuss the challenges faced by all levels of educational setups. From Pre School to research level, if you’ve an idea to share, a problem to discuss, or a suggestion to present, just make it a part of Tajzia.

According to Aristotle, ‘education is the process of creating sound mind in the sound body’. As any process needs a planning at the back end in order to get the desired results, education also needs planning. And this planning is based on the Educational Philosophy. James Ross relates education and philosophy as ‘two sides of a coin’. This relation has also been described by John Adams, for him ‘education is the dynamic side of philosophy’.

The actual origin of racism is still unknown, but careful approximations suggest it to be the product of modern times. The racist activities might have prevailed in the ancient societies, but the contemporary situation is much different and more complex. According to Michel Foucault the first formulation of racism emerged in the Early Modern period as the "discourse of race struggle", a historical and political discourse which Foucault opposed to the philosophical and juridical discourse of sovereignty.

Sufism started as a spiritual movement in Islamic history and then organized into various Sufi Orders. Sufism first emerged after 1st century of Islam. Originally it was
in the form of a movement as a reaction to those people who were very
good in their compliance to observing the ‘external’ (zahir) aspects of
religion such as in the offer of prayers etc. but were morally not so
good in their other worldly affairs because they lack the spiritual
basis for their ethical conduct.
