From the Principal’s Desk

“A good education can change anyone. A good teacher can change everything!”
Welcome to Oriental College of Education & Research (OCER), a proud institution under the Oriental Education Society, serving Mumbai’s learners for over three decades since 2001. With NCTE affiliation and University of Mumbai recognition, we uphold strong academic standards, research culture, and a legacy of quality teacher education.
Aligned with NEP 2020, our college integrates competency-based education, and responsible use of technology and AI. We also incorporate SDG goals (4 & 17), focusing on quality education, inclusivity, sustainability, and partnerships that enrich school experiences.
At OCER, student teachers grow through innovative teaching, micro-teaching, school internships, digital tools, action research, and continuous mentoring. We prepare them to be reflective, confident, and technologically skilled educators.
With the world facing a global shortage of trained teachers, our mission is to develop educators who can meet the evolving needs of schools and colleges—locally and internationally—with professionalism and compassion.
“At OCER, we prepare teachers not just for classrooms, but for the future.”
I wish you all success in all your endeavours.
