Message from the Principal

Dear Students,

The Lord’s Universal College of Education is fast earning its reputation of being the ICT-enabled Institution that strives to build the capacity in the digital expertise of the Pre-service Teachers as per the expectations of the job market in the present scenario. Teaching staff are experts in the use of online modalities for facilitating learning among students thereby economising the time to cover the vast curriculum in comparatively short span of time schedule. Creating and maintaining e-portfolio, blogs throughout the term for all the courses, off-campus self-learning on the platform of e-Learning Management system (LMS) during Internship, using software to create e-learning resources to practice teaching with no additional cost are some of the highlights of the learning culture of the Institution.

We feel proud of the fact that the institution goes beyond the set curriculum prescribed by the apex bodies and has always pioneered to develop all three domains of the Teacher Personality. The vision of the institution focuses on the quality education that is reflected in our perspective plan which is updated every five years that serves as the guidelines to realise our mission of developing the capacity building in skills and performances compatible to the needs and demands of the clients in the society.

Students are provided with ample amount of opportunities to develop research skills which is one of the indicators on the quality my bench-mark. The library is being fully and meaningfully utilised for referring support literature like magazines, journals for research work in the form of research article reviews, online surveys on social issues, presenting research papers in seminars, etc.

The professional growth of teaching and non-teaching faculty is an essential contributor in the effective training of the students. The institution deputes them to attend and present research papers at National and International seminars and conferences in reputed educational institutes within and out of Mumbai.

The institute believes in facilitating learning and not in forced delivery of the content to ensure students’ involvement. In this direction, the Constructivist approach is freely used in the teaching-learning process and also for students in their practice lessons in schools during internship.

We strongly believe that work speaks better than words which are seen in the end result in terms of students’ academic and non-academic achievements. Last year proved to be successful and satisfying where we received overwhelming responses for the admission for our B.Ed. programme in-spite of the fact that we strictly adhere to the rules and norms of our apex bodies of 80% attendance, non-working conditions, etc.

In my third year of carrying out the responsibility as a principal, I feel satisfied when I see our stakeholder institutions are happy with our students and welcome them with open arms to their internship.

We consider ourselves as LUCE family work together as a team with a strong bond and feeling of belongingness towards the Institution. The team includes not only the staff but also the support system of Universal Education here every subsystem works cohesively towards fulfilling our infrastructural, technical, creative, and academic requirements.

I am grateful to our Hon. Chairperson Shri. Jesus Lall and the entire management team for their wholehearted support.
