Founded in August 1968, the primary function of the department was to train secondary school teachers for the school subjects of Civic Education, Scouting Education and that of the Three Principles of People, as well as for the management of student affairs in the school. Until 1983 students were being admitted and taught in two separate divisions, one for the Three Principles of People and the other one for the scouting education, this had been abolished due to the needs of social change and educational development. A master’s degree program was then instituted in 1990, and a doctoral program in 1999. In 2002, the department has changed its name from the “Department of Civic and Moral Education” to the “Department of Civic Education and Leadership".
