The Meston College of Education is governed by the Meston Education and Development Association. The College of Education grew out of the Wesley College, which was one of the pioneering Arts Colleges in the city of Chennai for over seventy years from 1861 to 1937.
It is affiliated to the TamilNadu Teachers Education Unviersity, recognized by NCTE, UGC and Government of Tamil Nadu and re-accredited by NAAC. The College conducts academic programmes leading to B.Ed., M.Ed., M.Phil.(Education) and Ph.D. (Education) degrees participating in welfare and community activities and organising educational extension work.
It was in July 1920 that the International Missionary Council suggested at its meeting in Williamstown Massachusetts that a training college be established for graduate teachers of North Tamil and Telugu areas of erstwhile Madras province. The scheme for a training college for men graduates in the premises of the former Wesley College, Royapettah was suggested by the Lindsay Commission on Christian Higher Education in India in the year 1931. On the basis of this eventful recommendation, the Meston Training College was founded in the name of Rev.Dr.William Meston, a distinguished Principal of Madras Christian College with the initial support of Methodist Missions Society, Council for World Mission, Church Missionary Society, United Society for the propagation of the Gospel. Subsequently, various philanthropic unions and churches have nurtured it.
