Teachers attend seminar on ‘becoming a teacher today’
Dimapur, March 13 (MExN): A seminar for six catholic schools’ teachers under the theme – ‘Becoming a Teacher Today’ was held on March 10 in Holy Cross Auditorium, Dimapur.
Dr. (Fr.) John Parankimalil SDB, presently the Principal of Don Bosco College of Teacher Education, Tura was the resource person.
The resource person ignited the minds and inspired the hearts of the teachers. Inspiring the participating teachers, Fr. John said, “If you want your name to be written among the stars – write it in the hearts of students because they are simply good.” On education, he said, “Education is to wake up the life” and quoted Nelson Mandela- “Education is the most powerful weapon which can be used to change the world”. He also said, “If the child misbehaves, there is a problem. Children are basically good but they are the product of the situation/background. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration etc.”
Around three hundred and fifty teachers from Holy Cross HSS, St. Clare HSS, Assisi HSS, St. Mary’s HSS Padampukhri, St. Paul HSS and Don Bosco HSS were the active participants of the seminar. The seminar was well appreciated by the participants. The teachers were inspired and re-fuelled to continue their noble task of moulding and shaping the lives of students entrusted to their care.
