Our History

Sathya Sai Education has been practised around the world since the 1970s through many Sathya Sai Schools, together with a network of Sathya Sai Institutes established to promote and support the goals and aims of Sathya Sai Education with particular attention to teacher training. The Sathya Sai schools and universities are renowned for their academic excellence and high moral and ethical standards.

The Institute of Sathya Sai Education Australia was established in 1998 with the appointment of Dr Pal Dhall as the Director. Dr Dhall, along with Dr. Tehseen Dhall, conducted many programs and delivered many presentations in Australia and Overseas to Educational Institutions.

In 2015 the ISSEA was restructured to improve its governance structure. It adopted a non-profit limited liability company constitution with a board of directors and Associate Professor Roger Packham as appointed as Director. From 2019 onwards, Associate Professor (Siva) Muttucumaru Sivakumar has taken over as Director to lead the ISSEA.

Dr Dhall continued his international role as Chair of the Education Committee of the Sri Sathya Sai World Foundation, the body that leads the Sathya Sai International Organisation..
