Doon Valley College Of Education

Our place, Doon Valley College Of Education, is tucked away in Thakurpur. If you know the Prem Nagar area in Dehradun, you probably know how it looks around here. It’s a bit of a climb sometimes depending on where you're coming from. We focus on training people who want to be teachers. There are classrooms, a library that gets a bit dusty if we don't stay on top of it, and lots of paperwork to file every single afternoon. It’s not a shiny new glass building, but it works for what we need. Students come in from all over the 248007 area and further out too. Most of the staff has been here for a good while, so we know the routines by heart. Dehradun has a lot of schools, so it makes sense to have a place like this here. We spend our mornings checking registers and making sure the lecture halls are ready for the day. The weather in Prem Nagar can be quite nice, which helps when the students are hanging around outside between classes. It gets a bit hectic during exam times or when new admissions start, but mostly it's just a steady flow of people learning how to manage a classroom of their own. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. People just find us or hear about us from someone else in the city. It's a straightforward college for people who are serious about getting their education degree. We keep the tea kettle going in the staff room and just try to get through the syllabus.
