Maria College Of Education

Our college, Maria College Of Education, is tucked away in Radha Krishna Society, near Manashapurna Mahadev in the Govindwadi area of Ahmedabad. It is a bit of a maze to find if you aren't from around here, but once you arrive, it is quite calm. We spend our time training people who want to become teachers. It is a lot of practical work, not just sitting at a desk. We talk about how to manage a classroom and how to explain things so they make sense to a child. The building is solid and has been around for a bit. We have a small staff, and we all know each other’s names. Sometimes we have lunch together in the small break room. Ahmedabad is a busy city, but inside the society, it feels different. We don't have any flashy signs or anything. Most of our students come from the surrounding neighborhoods. They arrive on their scooters or take the bus. We focus on the syllabus and making sure everyone is prepared for their exams. There is always paperwork to do, which can be a bit of a headache, but that is just how it is. We try to help our students as much as we can with their studies. It is a regular place where we put in the effort every day to help folks get their teaching degrees so they can start their own careers.
