Sri Venkateswara College Of Education

Down here in Payakaraopet, things move at their own pace, and the college is right in the middle of it. We are out in the Visakhapatnam district, so it takes a bit of a journey to get here if you are coming from the main city. The building is solid and has plenty of room for the students who want to become teachers. Most of the people here are studying hard because they want to work in schools later on. You will usually find them sitting in the library or talking in the hallways about their upcoming exams. We have classrooms that are simple, with wooden benches and blackboards that get a lot of use every single day. The sun shines pretty bright in this part of Andhra Pradesh, so the shadows in the courtyard are where everyone hangs out during the breaks. It’s not a fancy place with high-tech gadgets in every corner, but we have what is necessary for learning. The staff mostly live nearby or commute from the local towns. We deal with the usual stuff like power cuts sometimes or the rain making the ground a bit muddy, but the classes happen anyway. It is just a practical place for people who are serious about their studies and want to get their degree without too much fuss. There is a lot of paperwork and reading involved, but that is just how it goes here. We try to keep things moving along for everyone who comes through these doors.
