National Policy on Education 2020, states that ‘Teachers truly shape the future of our children and therefore the future of our nation’. Everyone admits that the quality of education is the base for quality of human life. A teacher is the most important person in the entire educational ecosystem.

Teacher education is an important area of concern in our educational system. Improving the quality of education is not possible without improving the quality of teacher education and teachers. The purpose of establishing Dr.DadaVaidya College of Education by Goa Vidyaprasark Mandal in 1993 in Ponda was to provide quality teacher education to the prospective teachers in the State of Goa.

The College has signed MOUs with various national and international organizations. Collaboration with these organizations helps us to organize various national and international seminars for our students and faculty members. We are also closely associated with Goa University as some of our faculty members are part of various academic committees of the University.

The College of Education has state of the art infrastructure to support students in curricular and co-curricular activities.
