A reflection on the university values and functions in security-intelligence training centers

Understanding the situations, recognizing the issues and challenges ahead, matching the organization’s structure and plan for proper and timely accountability in order to predict the future events and to analyze the affairs correctly are among the most fundamental requirements of security-intelligence organizations. In these organizations, education plays a vital role, and its employees pass specific and targeted training courses at different levels of work and service. The security-intelligence training centers will play a significant role in the excellence and success of their respective organizations, provided they fulfill the expected values and functions. The present research aims at explaining the status of the fulfillment of university values and functions in security-intelligence training centers based on the qualitative approach of the interpretive method. Also, document analysis has been used as a data collection instrument. In the context of university values of the country’s security-intelligence training centers, the research findings show that organizational values have been prioritized higher than institutional values. In the context of university functions, two types of “Learning to know” and “Learning to live together” have been largely overlooked.
