About us

The Centre for Education Research (CER) is established at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, India to collect research on education which is at the heart of development. It recognizes education as a determinant and a driver of social, economic and intellectual transformation of the nation and its positioning within the global knowledge society.

Research on education – both school and tertiary levels – has been in progress in Manipal for a few years now. CER has now emerged as a common platform for continuation of these research projects with a team of young researchers guided by the experienced professors. Presently, research is being carried out in two clusters; School Education and Higher Education (HE).
Currently there are 60 Scholars in the field of education in MAHE from various institutions of MAHE.
