Dr. S. Radhakrishnan
Former President of India

Remembering the golden words of Dr. S Radhakrishnan, education is acquiring of knowledge beyond what is academic and professional and education should be neither bookish learning nor memorising of facts and figures, stuffing the mind with information unrelated to life.

A teacher must create an environment that nurtures the student with his warm, kind-hearted, accessible, enthusiastic and caring approach. He must convey sense of leadership by providing opportunities for each student to assume leadership roles.

The mutual respect between teacher and student will provide supportive and collaborative environment in the classroom. Valuing students' ideas and opinions will encourage students to feel safe to express their feelings and learn to respect and listen to others.The teacher should have no fear of learning new teaching strategies. He must focus on shared decision-making and teamwork as well as on community building.
