University of Toronto has offered teacher education programs since 1906. Since 1996 we have offered our teacher education programs as the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. OISE is among the largest faculties at the University and one of the largest faculties of education in North America.
OISE is committed to the study and improvement of education in the context of broad social issues, with an understanding that learning is a life-long activity. Its mission emphasizes excellence and equity and involves collaboration with others to address a wide array of intellectual issues and educational questions.
