Peranan Fakulti Pendidikan tidak terhad kepada pendidikan guru sahaja. Setiap ahli Fakulti mempunyai kepakaran
tersendiri dalam bidang pendidikan, dan kebanyakan ahli akademik di Fakulti ini berkhidmat sebagai penasihat atau pakar
runding kepada Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia dan berbagai-bagai organisasi. Setengah-setengah daripada mereka
bertugas rapat dengan agensi-agensi antarabangsa termasuk Bank Dunia, UNESCO, UNICEF, IBRD, RECSAM, dan RELC.
Semua staf Fakulti ini terlibat secara aktif dalam penyelidikan, dan sejumlah besar kertas kerja dan artikel telah diterbitkan
di kedua-dua peringkat, tempatan dan antarabangsa. Kebanyakan geran penyelidikan ditaja oleh Universiti Malaya atau
agensi dalam dan luar negara.
The Faculty’s role is not limited to teacher education. Each Faculty member has his/her own area of expertise in a particular field of
education and many serve as advisers or consultants to the Ministry of Education and various organisations. Some members of the Faculty
work closely with overseas and international agencies including the World Bank, UNESCO, UNICEF, IBRD, RESCAM and RELC. All
academic staff members are actively involved in research and numerous papers and articles have been published in both local and
international journals. Research by faculty members is largely sponsored by grants from the University or agencies from within and outside
the country.

Fakulti Pendidikan telah memulakan usaha ke arah misinya untuk menjadikan Fakulti ini sebagai satu pusat
pendidikan ijazah tinggi dalam bidang pendidikan yang membawa kepada penganugerahan ijazah sarjana dan doktor
falsafah. Fakulti berhasrat untuk mengeluarkan pendidik berijazah tinggi bagi memenuhi permintaan sistem pendidikan yang
dinamik. Dengan kekuatan semasa kakitangan akademik, yang hampir kepada 100 orang, berbanding dengan jumlah staf
yang tidak seberapa, iaitu hanya lima orang, pada tahun 1963, tidaklah menghairankan bahawa Fakulti mempunyai
sekumpulan pakar berbakat yang boleh memberikan sumbangan yang lebih besar kepada perkembangan dalam bidang
pendidikan.
The Faculty of Education has embarked on a mission to enhance its role as a centre for higher degrees in education. The
Faculty aims to produce more postgraduate educators to meet the demands of a dynamic education system. With the present academic
staff strength of nearly 100 members compared to only five in 1963, the Faculty can proudly claim to have a pool of talented expertise with
the ability to make greater contributions to development in the field of education.

Fakulti Pendidikan mempunyai jumlah terbesar pelajar ijazah tinggi untuk mengikuti pengajian ijazah sarjana dan
doktor falsafah di Universiti Malaya. Di antara calon, yang terdiri daripada rakyat Malaysia, terdapat calon ijazah tinggi dari
luar negara seperti Libya, Thailand, Brunei, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Cook Island, Samoa, China, Afrika, dan lain-lain. Dengan
kehadiran pelajar dari luar negara, pendedahan dan latihan menjadi lebih luas apabila setiap pelajar dapat berkongsi
pandangan dan pengalaman lepas.
The Faculty of Education has one of the largest number of postgraduate students pursuing either the Master or PhD degrees at
the University of Malaya. While most of these graduate students are Malaysians, there are also postgraduate students who come from
foreign countries like Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Libya, Thailand, Brunei, Fiji, Sri Lanka, the Cook Islands, Samoa, China and several
African countries. With the presence of international students, the exposure and training received is enriching as students are able to share
their diverse experiences and views.
