Question

Write in brief about abdul kalam's classroom experience in your own words

Answer 1

Despite being an eminent scientist and former President of India, you always wanted the people to remember you as a teacher. What is it about teaching that you place it above others?

Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me. Youth have a dream and also they have a pain. The pain comes out of their dream; they want to live in a prosperous, happy and peaceful India. This type of student’s environment ignites me and leads me to interact with young minds.

 

What does Teachers' Day mean to you? Do you think the advent of technology and free access to abundant information has the changed the profile and relevance of teachers over the years?

   Teachers day for me, gives me an opportunity to remember my teachers. Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.  Teacher’s Day is to celebrate the great teachers who empower the students and put them into the higher ladders of thinking.

Internet has no doubt simplified access to information.  Modern gadgets and education learning websites will be assistive to teachers and the students. Technology can only facilitate but never replace a teacher. The more tech-savvy they are, the simpler their work becomes.
