With increased mobility of people and resources, English
has become an essential medium of communication not only
in the international arena but also within India. English,
today, is a medium of upward social mobility. Further, Indians
already have a legacy of the language of over 200 years.
This gives India an edge over many other countries in the
world. In this era of immaterial economy, when service sector
reigns supreme, Indian academicians, service sector and
all the knowledge- workers can make most of their knowledge
of English and help India scale economic and cultural heights.
With over 1,000 English medium schools in the State of Gujarat
itself, and many more in the offing, there is an increased
and increasing demand for teachers who can teach the various
subjects at school in English.
This is both a challenge and an opportunity for the young
generation of India. It is simultaneously a calling to reconstruct
the society and an opportunity for a bright career.
The Founders and Visionaries of this Seat of Learning
called Vallabh Vidyanagar firmly believed education
to be an effective means of societal reconstruction. Hence
all the efforts of the leaders, past as well as present,
reflect this perspective. Since teacher performance is the
most crucial input in the field of education, the Charuter
Vidya Mandal established this college to prepare teachers
who can teach effectively through English Medium. Originally
known as CVM College of Education, this institution was
sanctioned permission by the NCTE vide its letter No. WRC/2-32/61/2004/4434
dated 8th July, 2004. The code no. given to this institution
for B. Ed. programme is 323125. The intake granted then
was for one Unit, i.e. 100 students. Following a goodwill
gesture of donors, Shri Vijaybhai Patel and Shri Bhikhubhai
Patel in January 2005, the college was renamed as Waymade
College of Education. The college was also granted the
permission to launch the M.Ed. (English) CO-ED
programme by NCTE vide letter no.
WRC/5-6/131st/2010/65887 dated 26/02/2010.
