And coping with the changes and meeting the emerging needs of the learning system, teachers play a vital role. They help the students understand the concept and make learning more accessible and easier.

A teacher ignites the light in one’s life. From birth, there are many blood relations like mother, father, siblings, relatives and many more all these relations also help us to learn many things in life. Apart from all these, teachers are the people who guide and inspire children toward their passion and dreams. The guidance that we get from a teacher always encourages us in our life.

Being in the teaching profession, one has to face enormous challenges in their career journey, as it is not easy for a teacher to understand each student’s capabilities and make them understand every concept of the subjects. But, with the changing landscape of the education system, providing proper training to teachers about changing education system helps the teachers to control and guide the students towards a bright future.

Teachers possess the attitude of perseverance, passion, and love for every subject they teach to the students. A great mentor is always a great listener and reader; these skills help them understand the students with love and passion and solve their problems.

Abiding with the truth, we always strive for guidance in every difficult life situation, and a great teacher always unveils the right direction and helps their students make the right decision.

The concepts launched and the paradigm shift brought by NEP 2020 is amazing and has changed the mindset, also changing the pedagogical framework.”

Honing the Biggest Challenges

Teaching has always been very challenging, as its dynamics are not static. The most difficult challenge was during the pandemic when a subject needing physical space was to be dealt in virtual space where most students were turning reluctant.
