M.Ed. College Report 2020-2022

“Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions”

-------A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

Teaching is a noble profession. A teacher is the pillar of the nation’s progress. Teachers are one of the most influential people in the world.

Choosing a profession of a teacher is a huge decision that is often underrated. This is a profession that has the huge potential of changing many lives, all at once, for generations.

As is the fact. Only the best institutions with the most competent faculty churn out the best prospects. And thus, located right in the heart of twin cities, with a legacy of 150 plus years of service to society, there’s this wondrous institution of ours that has a serene atmosphere irrespective of the chaos on the other side of the compound wall. And let’s not think there is the use of hyperbole here as it is literally calm on the inside!

A proud owner of a sprawling campus and an equally huge open atrium which was a common sight about 3 to 4 decades ago and which is a rarity these days. Our St. Ann’s College of Education stands tall and proud.

As we all know, a strong foundation is the only deciding factor for the future of a person on project. If genuinely interested, we need to ensure that we have a strong base and for what we need to research a lot and find the best to chisel ourselves.

In this age of everything which is automatic, adulterated service without any genuine interest in the welfare of society, this college lays emphasis on kindness and human emotions, love, sympathy, and empathy, to name a few and makes efforts to mould students to stand true to the college motto, “Serve with Love”.
