‘Raising the bar on teachers to ensure quality education’

Minister exhorts teachers to upskill themselves during the training programme

Education Minister A. Suresh on Friday said that the funds being spent on education were aimed at securing a bright future for the students. “Every penny spent today is an investment on future,” he asserted. Speaking after virtually inaugurating an online training session for primary school teachers organised by the School Education Department’s Samagra Shiksha wing, the Minister said only a good teacher could contribute towards quality education. He said teachers should discourage students from resorting to the rote model of education, and instead encourage them to think out of the box.
