MOTTO – "Virtue and Knowledge

St. Mary’s College of Teacher Education is named after the Blessed Virgin Mary, the woman who epitomized in herself the qualities of womanhood. Every student teacher is called to imitate her virtues of purity, modesty, simplicity, self-respect, courage and self-effacing love and inculcate them in the young who will pass through their hands. True knowledge leads to cultivation of virtues without which education loses its power of transforming society. True education contributes to the blossoming of the human being. Hence, “Students of St. Mary’s College of Teacher Education”; let us nobly do our part, tenaciously playing the game of life and aiming at virtue high. Let knowledge ennoble our lives and those around us.
