Gokhale Education Society, founded on 19th February 1918, is an illustrious educational enterprise with a rich legacy spanning over a century. Founded by Prin. T. A. Kulkarni, a disciple of Namdar Gopal Krishna Gokhale, G.E. Society today has grown to encompass more than 140 units across three zones in Mumbai, Nashik, and Thane-Palghar. It caters to an extensive student population of 1.25 lakh through its various educational institutes. These educational institutes provide training in a range of faculties including humanities, commerce, management, science, engineering and para-medical training and always strive for the holistic growth of students’ personalities. The visionary leadership of the Late Honourable Sir Dr. M.S. Gosavi, former Secretary and Director General of G. E. Society added unparalleled strength to the advancement of G. E. Society.
G.E.Society’s “College of Education” is one of its valuable stakeholders. Established in 1969, the college has significantly contributed in catering to the need for providing training in the field of teacher education for more than 50 years. The institute offers Graduate and Postgraduate courses in education.
The college has well-qualified staff that strives to offer quality education to students. The institute consistently organises various student-centric initiatives. It makes an effort to expose students to new teaching methodologies, technologies, and innovative approaches to education that will help them to adapt to changing educational landscapes.The college also organizes workshops, seminars and conferences to facilitate meaningful conceptual exchange among the faculty members. As a result of such initiatives, the college has produced rank holders in the University examinations and has to its credit a rich pool of alumni who are contributing to society as teachers at different levels of education.
Teacher education is vital for ensuring the professional competence and effectiveness of educators. It has a direct and profound impact on the quality of education, student success, and the overall development of society. Quality teacher education programmes are thus essential to meeting the diverse and evolving needs of students and the educational system. Teachers play a pivotal and multifaceted role in society, and their importance cannot be overstated. G.E.Society is proud to contribute meaningfully to teacher training through the College of Education. I extend my wholehearted best wishes to all its endeavours!
