The best teacher, while recognizing the intelligence and skills in every child can make teaching and learning a success.
Educational experts, keeping in view national interest, need to create a working framework.
Successful formation of a future society is the primary goal of education. It is a national achievement to improve quality of life based upon education. Belief and action are the foundations of academic success. Fostering a culture of high expectations through the use of hidden abilities in every human being is the basic principle of education and teaching. The secret to academic achievement for students lies in their skill and determination. Promoting independent thinking in all aspects of teaching involves awakening a student’s ability to deliberate so that he or she can find better solutions to the problems they face.
Gradual development of students’ mind and body at different stages of the age requires nurturing and developing skills such as academic skills, protecting the values, discovery, curiosity, rational reasoning, logical analysis, academic insight and discipline.
