Government College of Education

Government College of Education, Aurangabad was established in 1954 to cater the need of training of untrained-teachers working in secondary education institutions (high-schools) in Maharashtra, especially in Marathwada region. In 1954, Government of Maharashtra took decision of opening 12 training colleges / institutions to run one year B.T. (Bachelor of Training) degree course. These 12 teacher training institutions were spread equally over three regions; viz. 04 each in Marathwada, Western-Maharashtra and Vidharbha regions; our institute being one from Marathwada. The untrained teachers working in secondary-schools were given admission in these institutions by sanctioning one year?s duty leave. These colleges were composite colleges running B.T. (one year degree) and Diploma in teaching (D.Ed.) course of two years. One inservice teacher training department (Extension Deptt) was also sanctioned to cater the needs of in-service teachers. These colleges were also running 21 to 28 days teacher training courses for science teachers. For this, Science labs were well equipped, well furnished with scientific apparatus, instruments, glass wares, chemical-acids and fixtures etc. The teachers selected for short term and long term courses were deputed by the schools and they were receiving the salary also.
