Minerva Educational and Welfare Society (MEWS) is a not-for-profit organization founded in the year 1993 with a purpose to build a relevant and rigorous practice-based model for teacher education in the country. The primary purpose of MEWS is to serve the education space by building a model of excellence in teacher education. The title Minerva Educational and Welfare Society has been consciously coined to build a sense of pride within teachers about their profession and about their identity as a teacher.
The mission of Minerva Educational and Welfare Society is to prepare caring and confident teachers committed to becoming reflective practitioners and lifelong learners, proficient in the content and practice of the Discipline. They are able to work collaboratively with each other and have the courage to be leaders in the field of education and in society.
It is imperative that we prepare our teachers to build the new India of our dreams. If we want to effect any fundamental change in the education system, it has to begin at the level of the teachers. We envision school intervention and teacher preparation as one coherent whole and not two separate processes.
