I consider it a great honor and privilege to take over as the I/C Principal of Marathwada College of Education, which is a premier institute with a glorious past and a symbol of quality education with a track record of exemplary results. At the outset I would like to pay my humble tributes to our Founder Chairman Late Dr. Rafiq Zakaria and our President Late Madam Fatma Zakaria. Dr saabs incessant and untiring efforts to establish institutions with quality Education in Aurangabad has been educating masses of Muslim community. Madam Fatma Zakarias contribution to up keep and promote the standard of quality education in these institutions is unparalleled. One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so. We cannot as a country, improve economically, socially, and culturally without quality Education. Economic prosperity and quality education of our children are inexorably linked. By providing every student with quality education, and the materials they need for class and to do their homework, we can help students from all backgrounds to learn and thrive. But the fact is, no matter how good the teacher, how small the class, how focused on quality education the school may be, none of this matters if we ignore the individual needs of our students. As an educator myself, and a teacher educator, in particular, I understand the profound effect that good teachers and quality education have on the lives of our young people. Hence Marathwada College of Education has in its 50 years of glorious past shouldering the responsibility of producing quality teachers for English Marathi and Urdu medium schools. The college is in its Golden Jubilee year, and due to the ensuing Covid19 Pandemic, we are being restrained from carrying our Golden Jubilee Celebration Activities. Nevertheless, we hope to complete them once the conditions become favorable. This year has been quite uneasy for all of us. Many of our students find it difficult to access online learning, particularly those from rural areas. But the college had taken all the efforts to reach its students through innovative learning techniques and had been able to complete a thorough curriculum transaction both in terms of content and methodology May the Almighty Allah give us courage and perseverance to proceed ahead with the same zeal and work tirelessly to make the dreams of Dr. Saab and Madam come true.
