A well designed education system and meticulously deliberated teaching learning process that include knowledge management as the key aspect is successful in delivering to the society. Therefore the main function of educational institution is the Knowledge Management. Through the application of creative thinking, Knowledge Management in educational institution can be separately designed at different levels like administrative, research, teaching and learning processes, student support system and other available human resources. The application of the Knowledge Management systems and its principles lead us to more flexibility in teaching and learning processes, access to different resource, establishment of the quality assurance mechanism, effective communication network, an amalgamation between the students and faculty knowledge and improvement in quality of research activities. However, Knowledge Management in education faces some challenges. This paper aims to examine the Knowledge management approaches applied at St. Ann’s College of Education and the challenges faced in process. The essential concepts, theories and practices of knowledge management have been explored and the feasibility of applying a few strategies of Knowledge Management to college of education. It articulates the application of St. Ann’s approach at individual, group and organisational levels to manage knowledge, and describes how culture, knowledge strategies and processes and information technology supported the implementation of Knowledge Management. Further, the paper describes how KM processes initiated innovation, individual learning, collective learning and collaborative work. This managing of knowledge as a resource helped to fill the existing knowledge gap to a great extent. KM strategies can be divided into two categories: codification for knowledge storing; and interpersonal interactive knowledge sharing (Hansen et al. 1999; Zack 1999). This study focuses on strategies that were effective for both knowledge storing and Knowledge sharing at St.Ann’s College of Education.
