Two Day Teachers’ Convention

Introduction

Sri Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya College of Education has initiated organising a series of two day Teachers’ Convention for teachers from grass roots level to higher education on 26.08.2022 aiming to develop overall personality of teachers by providing value based educational training.

Swami Vivekananda said that “We want the education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.” It is only with proper education that such knowledge gets transformed into a means for all-round development of human beings. Since Teachers play a vital role in imparting education and shaping the life of students, their role cannot be overlooked as they contribute maximum towards development of an individual and society. They are the strongest pillars of society and should be encouraged and empowered. Empowering them with right knowledge, skills, competence, attitude and value would enable them to meet the demanding and challenging needs of the ever changing society.  Following the words of Swami Vivekananda on education, Sri Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya College of Education has instigated this series of Teachers’ Convention to facilitate teachers to strengthen their mind, expand their intellect and inculcate value based character, that could be transferred to nurture their students as well.

The two day programme includes value based lecture sessions, interactive and observational learning sessions.
