Making a better India

Q. Since independence, India has progressed a lot when it comes to education, but still there exists a gap. Please share your views on how this gap can be bridged.

A. Although, today India today shows signs of tremendous growth in the education space, there still lies ample scope of improvisation in that area. The challenge for all educators today is to develop employable lifelong learners and establish world-class standards by infusing students with a sense of power, broader horizons and larger world view.

Realising the critical aspect of the Indian education system, schools today must introduce well-researched concepts with world-class infrastructure and adequate pedagogic attention to every child to be on a par with the education received globally and develop their individual skills and capabilities. Schools have to ensure that teachers are well-trained and are committed to provide personalised attention to every student to help develop their talents in the right direction.

Q. Teaching needs a lot of dedication, commitment, passion and the urge to create better human beings. Do you think teachers today nurture the same passion or do they just take it as an alternate career option?

A. Today, creating an ambience that fosters better learning is imperative. Teachers as mentors have the enormous task of motivating students through positive connections.

Teaching has always been considered as a vocation and not a profession. However, it is a pity that many teachers today look at it as a mere profession and are just concerned about finishing their syllabus. When the occasion arises, they quickly move to greener pastures. Having said that, we should not forget that even today many teachers continue to be faithful to their noble vocation as a teacher to create better human beings for a better world.
